Does anyone else out there collect Robert B. Parker? I have recently started with this writer. The recent works, back to the late eighties are complete but one wonders about strange items such as the "Spenserian Sonnet" and more. "Spenser's Boston" looks like an interesting addition. Aside from...

Hello all, I will be travelling to Indianapolis this summer and want to know if there are any good bookstores, and if so, how far from downtown (City Centre) they can be found. Thanks!

In anticipation of moving to a smaller house in a few years, I'm breaking up my lifelong book collection of about 5,000 paperbacks and hardcovers and listing them at Amazon. Thanks to addall, alibris, abebooks and Amazon itself, I've been able to get a good handle on each book's value and offer it...

Well, with three sales now under by belt, as it were, I have topped $10,000. The last - 22 books for $3000. It seems I have discovered a market, one that needs little tending. The total advertising for the three sales was six e-mails outbound. I think I'll keep this going for time. My...

The true first is a Vintage paperback but the problem is that they all say "first" on the copyright page. Ahearn doesn't have it. -- Mark Healey marknews(at)healeyonline(dot)com

I would just like to add that willow has been curteous in other groups and that Jennifer and Diane have been stalking her for a while, twisting facts and trying to get police involved in prosecuting her for untrue allegations. Another person had to go through the same process and had the police...

Thanks ever so much Bill, for posting a link back into rec.collecting.books on alt.support.srs and other newsgroups. Nice troll there and I'm sure that everyone at rec.collecting.books will appreciate the effort you made to keep strife out of their newsgroup.... much as you've "kept it out" of...

Apparently some people buy so many books that they run out of places to put them. Crazy, huh? http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/03/22/AR2006032200557.html (with picture, and links to 3 related articles) --Jon Meyers

I've several copies of this title in the traditional style green boards from Jonathan Cape (London), ranging from 1947 to 2003. They show differences in typeface, pagination and printing errors, as well as in the endpaper maps. But what really baffles me are the apparently gross inconsistencies...

Saw a couple of Easton Press SF books (Bujold's Falling Free and Sawyer's The Terminal Experiment) at $20 each on a swing-by of the nearest Half-Price Books yesterday, went home, priced them out, and came back to pick them up, plus scan the mainstream shelves I hadn't had a chance to peruse the...

Imagine! An honest-to-god, signed copy of John Grisham's "The Firm", graded AND sold by BGS for the low, low bargin-basement price of $1,947.00! And BGS guarantees its authenticity (as if Grisham hasn't already signed 100 million books...) And Near Mint at that! BGS guarantees it! "Having your...

A couple of years ago I read a book by an author who spent a few months living in Hay-On-Wye. I'm totally spaced on the title and author. I can't find the book in my libraries and a search for subject on Amazon didn't help. If anyone can identify this book, or even suggest what it might be, I...
