As posted here yesterday, I would like to have an independent appraisal
for 17 C. leather-bound books. The last appraisal was in 1952, however,
any documentation relative to these books is unknown.
From private collection, appraised (1974) with these omitted.

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! To compound the weirdness,
there is also a franking mark and address label on the outside of the
jacket....

"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

human folly. I wonder if there is one on the subject of gullible people who

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.

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...
