David Gemmell first edition question by [email protected]
Hi, I just received a hardcover first edition of WAYLANDER II from a guy in England. There is no price on the dust wrapper flap. All of my other Legend Gemmell firsts have a price. I'm worried that this may be a book club jacket married to the book. I paid alot for this so it's...

Nice Trip by Pangarune Corner
My partner and I just returned home after a ten day trip south - to Vancouver via Kamloops, Vernon, Kelowna, Penticton, and Princeton. As is our usual practise, we stopped at bookstores along the way - thrifts and such too. Three boxes of books made the return trip. A total delight! Rummaging...

Uncut signatures normal or no? by Whiteleather
I have several "Complete works of..." sets with uncut signatures. For instance all of my "Complete Works of Dickens" printed in 1902 have to have the front edges cut every 4 pages or so. At the end, the top edges need to be cut. The same is true of my fancy bound "...Thackeray". At first I...

Buy One Share of Barnes and Noble Stock by [email protected]
LOL! At http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-1889199-517456 you can buy one share of Barnes and Noble stock (I see their picture still has the old logo) for $120.00 (instead of the $45.22 plus fees it would cost from a broker). Probably that same site that sells old Atari Corporation...

Over the Seas... by Pangarune Corner
As a collector, I tend to look for the lowest price. With hypermodern firsts, you *do* stand a decent chance of finding a copy of a title you want in a thrift or at a garage sale, but another pattern is emerging for me that seems to work very well. Overseas. I am told that a sales truism is that...

Reading by Pangarune Corner
Just as a matter of interest, how many here read their first editions, instead of freezing them on a shelf in plastic? Dunning's Janeway buys two copies of his best books - one to read, one to save. Anyone go that far? My own habit is to carefully read. The dustjacket is removed and...

"Yes, Mary Kennedy, you try and fix things with the BIG boss!" by [email protected]
This is amazing! Although addall.com lists 170 Fredric Wertham items (including magazine articles and books) there is not one copy of his famous anti-comic book screed "Seduction of the Innocent" listed. My prediction: The next fine or near-fine copy with d.j. will be listed at upwards of...

Britannica Great Books Missing Volumes? by [email protected]
Anyone know of dealers who stock a lot of the Britannica Great Books of the Western World sets? I'm missing a couple of volumes from my 60-volume set and would like to purchase just those volumes as replacements. I seem to recall seeing a dealer in Arkansas a few years ago who had them but I've...
