Forgive me if I'm in the wrong place. I would welcome pointers elsewhere if that's what's needed. In 1897-98, my Great-Grandfather organized the "Alaska Yukon and Klondike Gold Syndicate" to raise funds so he could go to the Klondike and find gold. Don't think he was successful, or at least none...

Well, if this is a harbinger of things to come, searching ABE for collectible books got a little tougher: http://dogbert.abebooks.com/abe/BookDetails?ph=1&bi=249161354 It doesn't seem right, and may in fact violate Project Gutenberg's rules. ---Mike http://www.booktouronline.com

Currently I use bookcloseouts.com once a month or so and Powells.com two or three times a year but am still desperately seeking an online used bookstore with a huge fiction selection. Any hidden gems out there? E-mail me please..... Shane "It would be ludicrous to think that we couldn't do...

Hello: I just subscribed to this newsgroup. A few months ago, I have finally decided to donate my book collection (1000+ titles mostly computer science and non-fiction) to the New York Public Library Division of Science and Industries. I chose this one because I am a frequent visitor and I know...

I have a first edition of this well-loved Cornish novel, printed in 1945 (War Economy Standard). It has a bright dust wrapper that is in quite good condition apart from some tears at the bottom and at the top of the spine. I have tried to find the value of this book using Abe and AddAll and...

I have a small book with weird cover damage. At first I thought it was mold, although the book doesn't smell musty. My second thought was water damage, because of the pattern, but none of the pages are wrinkled, and the boards are not warped. It almost looks as if some kind of clay sizing has...

I feel a twinge of suspicion about this listing. Would Lovecraft really stamp this book instead of merely writing his name in pen? If so, why a total of 18 times in one book, as the seller...

As a novice online bookseller, I am interested in purchasing one of the many book inventory software. Which software package have you found to be the best value--cost vs. ease of use, quality of reports, utility, etc.?

I recently purchased a hard-to-find paperback, signed by the author, and the spine leans. Does anyone know of a safe way to try to restore the spine to a more original condition? Thanks. Les

I've written my first book-related piece of software for the Pocket PC. It's called "AbeSearch", and it allows you to enter the standard ABE search criteria. It downloads the page internally, and puts everything in a scrolling list box for (relatively) easy viewing on the small screen. You can view...

Hi All, Are there dealers who specialize in ARCs and Proofs? I'm only interested in forthcoming (2004 titles) science fiction. Thanks, Ned

A few days ago, in a well-established bookshop in Bloomsbury, I asked to see a book that I am also selling on ABE. I was curious to see it because I priced my copy largely based on the price and described condition of their copy that is also listed on ABE. And that description is hardly glowing:...
