It's Not Just People on ebay by Evelyn C. Leeper
I am amazed on the number of people whose listings show up on bookfinder.com who think that "signed" means that the owner has written his name on the inside of the front cover. -- Evelyn C. Leeper Life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it...

Finally, why am I doing this? Ummm, because you're a thief? But shouldn't you be able to read it even if you can't buy the book? That's why your town has a library, Mary. Check it out sometime! -- RWF

help estimating value of a book by [email protected]
I've recently acquired a copy of Peter Beard's book The End of the Game. It is the 1965 first edition, with the dust jacket. Searching through the internet has revealed that this is a fairly valuable book, but unfortunately mine is a library copy. How much will that reduce the value of the book...

How to identify 'True Firsts"? by Eden R
Hi, In which way can you identify what is the 'true first' of a edition. I collect Bookers and this is often an issue as the UK edition is often trumped by an Australian/Canadian edition. The question arose as I was thinking of this year's Pulitzer and the fact that it is an Australian with dual...

Another (worse) Rushdie forged signature on eBay by Jon Meyers
Apparently a forged signature doesn't have to even remotely resemble the genuine article to draw in the suckers: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7008060408 All I can say about this one is that the initials are correct, and there's apparently supposed to be a dotted letter in...

Rare and not-so-rare together! by Calvin
Hi RCBers, I am facing the following situation: Let's say there are 2 rare books, "A" and "B", $2,000 each. They were bound together with a not-so-rare book "C" ("C" alone priced at $30!). Title of book "A" is on the spine. These 3 books are at about the same period (20 years apart).

Book of Mormon "collectors" (thieves) caught by Kris Baker
I don't know if any of you had heard about the break-in at a local museum, where 11 "firsts" of the Book of Mormon were stolen. It's probably only newsworthy in Utah. Here, it's the biggest thing since Mark Hofmann. So far, one person arrested is someone I'm familiar with. I don't know this...
