Collection Database by Prove It...
This might or might not be the right group to ask this in. I have a fairly large collection of books and I would really like to put them in a database. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good database for such a task? I would prefer something with MySQL and PHP, but I'm willing to look into...

Left with ebay fees after hit-and-run-buyer by Arne Herløv Petersen
A probably clinical manic buyer joined ebay today and went on a wild buying spree. In a few hours he bought more than 700 items, many of them costing thousands of dollars. After a few hours someone pulled the plug and he is now no longer a registered user. All well and good. But I am left with...

Rippled Leaves by
Can rippled leaves of books be flattened out? Is it reasonable if this is the condition of, say, the bottom margins of a 300-page book?

Library weeding policies good for collectors bad for thefuture? by [email protected]
Yup. De-accessing is accelerating both in local libraries here on Long Island--most librarians claim more or less rightly that thenumber one reason is lack of space, and that, of course, caused by reallocation of book space to media and computer rooms, and by "taxpayer revolts"--and in State...
