Longfellow Signature by Daniel
I was wondering if somebody might help me identifying a signature. It is a longfellow signature, but likely not Henry W. Longfellow or his wives, since it appears to be from June of a year at or after 1888. You can view it at http://www.bluewombat.com/images/longfellow.jpg.

Visual Aids - Remainder and Edge Marks by Doug McClure
Random House also used a rubber stamp -- of a house -- similar to the Simon and Schuster's stamp. I believe that some publishers put a sticker on the book. I can't remember which publishers, but as I recall the sticker was a small bright green. The sticker is fairly easy to remove. Also, some...

What about the artists? was Copying dustjacket blurbs by Scrooge
If you are going to argue against the use of blurbs, you would also have to take a stand against using pictures of the dustjacket or book itself. You would be using that picture to profit without giving the artist his/her credit. The jacket, more often than not, is attributable and is rarely...

Copying dustjacket blurbs by Richard Moriarty
Grey area on use of (attibuted) dustjacket blurbs in book descriptions. William Klimon, Robert, Denise Enck and Bud Webster argue that it's ok. Pat O'Brien argues (compellingly) that it's not ok. Please excuse my quoting people's opinions and I apologise if that's inappropriate or I got it...

Plagerism by diane.walker
I have noticed that you get quite a lot of posts on the subject of plagerism on this newsgroup. Ebay sellers like me seem to get the most stick for stealing other peoples descriptions of books. Are not dealers on Addall and Abe not commiting pagerism. They take the description from the jacket...

Collecting word books by William M. Klimon
We have spoken here of the collecting of dictionaries and of slang. I have a mild mania for books of words--dictionaries, glossaries, collections of proverbs and quotations, gazetteers, etc. I guess, I just take them as they come--although I've sought out a few on occasion. In last week's Jay's...

Pynchon - "Gravity's Rainbow" by Art Layton
Picked up a copy to read from the library yesterday. After 75 pages of reading, still can't find a plot or understand any of the characters. Am I missing something? Why is this book so collectible? Will start Proust tomorrow. Art Layton Stamford CT
