D.C. bookshops? by
J[_2_]
Can anyone give me some hints? I'll be in Washington for a weekend
with friends, but expect to have some time when I can be shopping on
my own. I recall that there were some nice shops near Dupont Circle,
but it's been a long time since I was there, and I imagine that (like
in most cities) many...

some old-time dealers by
J[_2_]
I recently visited the New York Society Library, which was having a
sale of unwanted and donated materials. I found one hardcover book I’d
wanted for a while, and browsed a cart of magazines, selecting two
back issues of THE BOOK COLLECTOR. I see that this quarterly journal,
founded by thriller...

British Book Centre by
J[_2_]
Do any other New Yorkers remember this shop, which was--back in the
day--about the only way to get British titles here in the U.S.?
When I first encountered them, they were on or near Lexington Avenue,
I think, in the East 50s. Their prices seemed to me to be on the steep
side, but I guess it's...

Sale at Argosy Books, NYC by
J[_2_]
I happened to be in the neighborhood of Argosy Books this evening (E.
59th Street, Manhattan), and stuck my head in. I don't know how long
the sale is going on, but all books in the basement are 50% off.
That's all the fiction, the theatre stuff, etc. It could be worth your
while to pay them a...

London by
J[_2_]
I just had a week in London, and of course, spent a good deal of time
looking for and at books. Despite the fact that the shops are nothing
like what they used to be, I came home with fifteen hardcover volumes!
I went to Maggs Bros, and was treated very nicely. (I'd heard that
they were not always...

Collecting books by

I must confess I didn't have anything particular to say today, but I
was upset when I opened the site, and saw nothing but filth on the
main page. You can hit the "report spam" button all you like, but
Google will never take it down.
If only we had more active members, we would of course be...

Dante question by
J[_2_]
I was looking at one of my copies of THE COMEDY this evening, and
noticed that no translator was listed. It was published by Doubleday
in 1947 for the Literary Guild. The illustrations are by Umberto
Romano.
Does anyone know whose work the translation is?

Donald M Grant dead by

I read on one of the pulp pages that Donald M Grant, founder of the
publishing house that bears his name--and a few others over the years--
died in mid-August. His firm was responsible for the deluxe series of
Conan books reprinting the original Howard stories, with new
illustrations, as well as...

Philly bookstores? by
J[_2_]
Can any members make a few suggestions for good used bookstores in
Philadelphia? I'd be coming in by train, just for the day, so they'd
have to be in the center city--say, between the Rosenbach and Lord &
Taylor's.
Thanks in advance.
