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...

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...
