D.C. bookshops? by J[_2_]
Can anyone give me some hints? I'll be in Washington for a weekend with friends, but expect to have some time when I can be shopping on my own. I recall that there were some nice shops near Dupont Circle, but it's been a long time since I was there, and I imagine that (like in most cities) many...

some old-time dealers by J[_2_]
I recently visited the New York Society Library, which was having a sale of unwanted and donated materials. I found one hardcover book I’d wanted for a while, and browsed a cart of magazines, selecting two back issues of THE BOOK COLLECTOR. I see that this quarterly journal, founded by thriller...

British Book Centre by J[_2_]
Do any other New Yorkers remember this shop, which was--back in the day--about the only way to get British titles here in the U.S.? When I first encountered them, they were on or near Lexington Avenue, I think, in the East 50s. Their prices seemed to me to be on the steep side, but I guess it's...

Sale at Argosy Books, NYC by J[_2_]
I happened to be in the neighborhood of Argosy Books this evening (E. 59th Street, Manhattan), and stuck my head in. I don't know how long the sale is going on, but all books in the basement are 50% off. That's all the fiction, the theatre stuff, etc. It could be worth your while to pay them a...

London by J[_2_]
I just had a week in London, and of course, spent a good deal of time looking for and at books. Despite the fact that the shops are nothing like what they used to be, I came home with fifteen hardcover volumes! I went to Maggs Bros, and was treated very nicely. (I'd heard that they were not always...

Collecting books by J[_2_]
I must confess I didn't have anything particular to say today, but I was upset when I opened the site, and saw nothing but filth on the main page. You can hit the "report spam" button all you like, but Google will never take it down. If only we had more active members, we would of course be...

Dante question by J[_2_]
I was looking at one of my copies of THE COMEDY this evening, and noticed that no translator was listed. It was published by Doubleday in 1947 for the Literary Guild. The illustrations are by Umberto Romano. Does anyone know whose work the translation is?

Ruth Rendell / Barbara Vine firsts? by J[_2_]
I've noticed some odd things about books I've assumed were first printings by British crime author Ruth Rendell... I bought a brand new copy of THE BIRTHDAY PRESENT today (her latest 'as Barbara Vine'), published by Shaye Areheart Books. The copyright page shows the numbers 10 through 2 above the...

Philly bookstores? by J[_2_]
Can any members make a few suggestions for good used bookstores in Philadelphia? I'd be coming in by train, just for the day, so they'd have to be in the center city--say, between the Rosenbach and Lord & Taylor's. Thanks in advance.
