Hello, Is there anyone here who wished to get their hand on such books ? Please get in touch with me .. thanks .. Have a nice day .. -Jan-

Hello all, simple and to the point question: How (or where) to find how many printings a book went through? Are there any websites with this information? Perhaps the publisher's? Though I couldn't find anything. I'm asking mostly out of curiosity as I've always wondered about certain books I have....

Yes, it's me again. If this is getting tedious, just don't answer and I'll get the idea. However, if anyone wishes to enlighten me, I'll be grateful. Reading Michael Innes, a Sir John Appleby mystery set in a University which is very Oxford-Cambridge-like. The President of one college has been...

You folks were so helpful last time, I thought I'd try you with another one. I get the gist but I don't get the specific. Here goes: There's Buckley's chance of his being noticed, unless he did something to make himself conspicuous. [The Corpse at the Haworth Tandoori by Robert Barnard) So, who's...

So I reading yet another British mystery (I can just hear y'all saying, doesn't she read ANYthing else?!), and have another bit of obscurity (to me) to present for elucidation (you see, I've at least read a dictionary). Start quote: Cop #1: And then there was that bit about the stained glass...

I recently acquired a 1st printing trade of The Right Stuff by Tom Wolfe, Farrar 1979, signed by the author very boldly, in black marker on the first (blue) front end page ... nice autograph! It got me thinking about a collection of Mercury astronaut books; good firsts and/or firsts/signed on the...

I have a LOT of coin magazines from the American Numismatic Association called "The Numismatist" for sale. Some of the magazines are from the 1930's! I have way to many to list but if you're interested please email me at . Thanks, Linda

I was at an estate sale today and came across a copy of The Sea Wolf by Jack London. I am new at book collecting , so please pardon my ignorance. I am having trouble figuring out what it is worth in the market. The copyright says 1903, 1904 and it is followed by "Published October 1904, ...

I ordered The Da Vinci Code from Doubleday Book Club. The edition I received states that it is a first printing (April 2003) and has the same ISBN no. as the "first printings" selling on the internet for almost $200 US. Considering I am under the impression that Book Club editions aren't valuable,...

The Private Library by Arthur L Humphreys .VGC 1897 Strangeways & Son Hatchards 187 Piccadily London.Appropriately enough there are two small library stamps on blank endpapers,otherwise a great copy. This really is an exquisite and ultra rare book for the bibliophile,especially one with a stately...

Hello, I realize that I might be paranoid for worrying about this. I'm concerned about exposing my books to light from compact fluorescent bulbs for any length of time (i.e. several hours a day). I know that the longer fluorescent tubes are fairly bad for books, and that Brodart sells UV...

Does anyone know what connection there was between Edwin Grabhorn of Grabhorn Press and a Miss Mary Howe? Several of my books were signed from Grabhorn to Howe and it sounds like he knew her very well.

I live in a small town. I have some Grabhorn Press books (1930's) I'm trying to get rid of on ebay. I looked up similar books at Abe Books and priced them below those prices, for the most part. There doesn't seem to be much interest, though. I'm wondering if I should have, perhaps, went through...

Greetings, I have a small collection of signed, first edition books that I've put together over the years. I started a google search to try and find some web sites where I could check the price of what the books might be worth, but was inundated with hundreds of links. I started going through...

Is anyone aware of a web site that offers a comprehensive list of what author's may be signing at what locations? In what I can only describe as a tragedy, here in South Florida, there used to be a few book stores that had authors come in to do readings, signings, etc. With the exception of Books...

I have a book that I wanted to clean up a bit and erase some ink (standard ball point pen) written down the spine. Being a tad too eager, I tried an eraser (standard pencil type) and although it took off some of the ink, I now have the remnants of the pinkish eraser color. Any ideas on how to...
