Hooray for Abe by Alfred Armstrong
To balance some of the negative comments about Abe round here recently, I'd like to speak in praise of their want list feature. A few days ago a US bookseller listed a book which I have been in search of for years, Frank Harris's little-known novel "Love in Youth". Within a few minutes I had...

Unusual use of a dust jacket by Alfred Armstrong
I just acquired a copy of a self-published conspiracy rant called "The Great Expose #1" by Annie R Patterson. The inside of the jacket was used by the author to type a letter to the recipient!

"Satanic" book by Alfred Armstrong
From what I can glean from listings on Abe (none over $45) this http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2973902158 is actually - and appropriately - a moralistic series of observations on human folly. I wonder if there is one on the subject of gullible people who fall for the spiels of...

RIP Bernard Stone by Alfred Armstrong
http://www.guardian.co.uk/obituaries/story/0,,1409332,00.html I concur about the unnerving nature of the Freud waxwork. But that aside, Stone's was one of the great places for anyone seeking out-of-the-way books. He always had a stock of Gaberbocchus Press items, for example. -- Alfred Armstrong

produce bags by Allan Adler
Suppose I take a new, plastic produce bag and put a perfectly good book in it. Optional whether to leave it open or close it. Can this result in any damage to the book, such as encouraging molds? I think this might be more likely with the bag closed, but I don't know. The reason I'm asking is that...
