Where Troy Once Stood by Iman Wilkens thanx in advance

It has been kindly brought to my attention that my postings here yesterday regarding two books offered on eBay are apparently in breach of both rec.collecting.books and eBay policies. I can only plead that my enthusiasm and ignorance outstripped my consideration. It will not happen again. I'll be...

I have listed for auction on eBay a rare 1951 true-crime shocker "Terror In the Streets". Have a look at this classic on street-crime: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3588413744

Hi, My daughter recieved a copy of the Sesame Street book "Too Big for Diapers". The book was either misprinted or misbound as the pages are not in order. Would this book be worth anything as a collectable item or should I return it for a refund? Thanks

Picked up a copy of this book last night at the library. Great read especially if you are oriented towards collecting English authors and their books (I am not). If anyone is interested in reading books about book-collecting, I recommend all three of the Goldsstone books "Warmly Inscribed", "Used...

As a result of an estate sale, I am offering for sale several books from my private library, including an extremely rare 1st edition Davis Grubb (author of the haunting "Night of the Hunter" which became an even more haunting film starring Robert Mitchum). Have a look...

I'm wondering if there are collectors or other regular buyers of books who will not purchase from Alibris. I know I've heard some negative opinions about them, and I"m wondering if that is just from a few dealers.

Its item # 3588267982, or can be looked up by seller: drexul. Magazine is in good shape. Pic at the auction listing.

A recent ebay purchase was Lawrence's The Wilderness of Zin, 1st US edition. A bargain purchase for a Very Good Condition book. Parts of the dustwrapper (the front board and spine as well as half the front flap) were stuck to the FEPs. These have been removed, but as they make up almost half of...

All auctions are based in the U.K. Excellent for a book of this age, original dust jacket. This is a RARE edition, a special club edition only made available for members of the World Book Club. It Was printed in 1962. Nice Orange Duskjacket. Bids Start at £4.99 (no reserve) -

As a bookseller, just musing over the proper use of the word "tight" in describing books. I assume it can be properly used for old and new hardcover books. Does it only describe the integrity of the hinge areas and page (signature) adhesion? For instance, can a book with sloping spine, bumped...

Sorry about the posting. A google groups search led me to believe this was a group for posting sales. I won't do that again.

I have a copy of Dan Brown's "DaVinci Code" which may be an Advance Reading copy, but I'm not sure. The hardback came out, I believe, in March, 2003. My copy is as follows: Paperback measuring 81/4" x 51/2". Copyright page states "First Edition April 2003" which is only one month after the...
