with the following enquiry.

ballads known as the "Daniels Collection", "A Collection of Seventy-Nine
Black-Letter Ballads and Broadsides".

Bond Brag by
Bud Webster
Just so nobody will think that my only collecting interest is in Groff
Conklin, I've just gotten a paperbound copy of the Gnome Press Nelson
Bond title, _The Thirty-First of February_, the first such I've ever
seen. It ain't in great shape, although considering the poor binding
and the years, it...

Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Missing American Culture by
justinroberts
You simply MUST look into the novel SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE CASE OF
THE MISSING AMERICAN CULTURE. It is a VERY funny look at the cultural
devolution in the US and how a very sub-par educational system, a
highly corrupt corporate entity and an Animal Farm-like political
system is driving the...

Pullquote: "I have Ten Novels that I am done with. I would lie to get about

Makes sense, I suppose. That'd be about the only way to get that much for
these books.

Samuel Pepys Diary by
Felix
Hello, my mother in law recently showed me her library and one of the
collections was very interesting. It is a Samuel Pepys Diary. I
offered to look it up online to give her a quick reference on what it
might be worth, but she told me I wouldn't be able to find much out. I
was rather surprised...

simultaneous first editions by
alan robson
Hi everybody
Recently I've noticed an odd phenomenon here in New Zealand. For many of
the popular British authors such as Ian Rankin, a large size paperback is
published here to correspond with the "official" hardback first edition in
the UK. Indeed, sometimes it comes out a few days *before* the...

2 insignificant but interesting acquisitions by
M Hill
In the auction lots I mentioned earlier, I found 2 books which are
neither important nor valuable but seem interesting enough to write
up about.
On reexamination of a 19th century novel I was unfamiliar with I
noted that the cover describes the author of Shirley as also having
written Jane Eyre. ...

Are you an in-ee or an out-ee? by
my-wings
I've just begun reading *The Book On the Bookshelf* by Henry Petroski. He's
apparently an engineer (or at least he writes about them) that finds
fascination in ordinary technology. (One of his previous titles is *The
Pencil*, touted on the back cover as enough to ensure that: "...No readers

Can anyone identify this book? by
rrb
This book had a "story within a story". One of the characters told a
story about a young man whose head was flattened (lollipop shape) and
had a white wolf as a companion. The character in the man story told the
flattened head story serial style. I can't find anyone who recalls this
book. I'd...
