NO COMMERCIAL POSTINGS, PLEASE!
Rec.collecting.books is a forum for the discussion of issues relating to
book-collecting. Commercial postings are specifically prohibited. Rec.collecting.books is an unmoderated newsgroup, so if people *do* make commercial postings there is nothing we can do about it except let them know how we feel and, in extreme cases, report them to their server. From the FAQs (http://www.massmedia.com/~mikeb/rcb/): __________________________________________________ ___________________ 1.3 What Kind of Posts are Inappropriate? Want to buy ... For sale ... For auction ... For trade... Visit my commercial website. A list of books for sale is available from ... __________________________________________________ ___________________ The one concession is: __________________________________________________ ___________________ 1.6 How Do I Advertise My Cool Website? Add the information below your "signature". It is considered rude to just blurt out an ad, but if you join in the discussions people will see the information, and be more interested in visiting as well. __________________________________________________ ___________________ Thank you for your cooperation. -- John http://rarebooksinjapan.com |

In any case, please feel free to stick around and talk about books and collecting. You're very gracious. Thank you. I don't get much time to read anymore (too much to do; too little time to do it), but right now I'm stuck on Neal Stephenson's _The Baroque Cycle_. It's not even old, and the only thing I collect is music, so I'm not sure I really qualify for the group at all! VBG -- lizard-gumbo |

I saw other FA posts, and did not know where to find a FAQ for your group. It's posted here from time to time, but it's been a while. And we know how easy it is to assume for-sale posts are acceptable when there are already plenty of them visible, so don't feel bad. In any case, please feel free to stick around and talk about books and collecting. |
