CLIVE BARKER ETCHING ON PUNK VINYL 45 RECORD

Greetings, May I ask a question about this book? I have a copy, which I believe is a FE, and perhaps, a first printing as well. (And just so we are all Quite Clear, it is not for sale.) Lurking about on the various book sites, I have determined that there are various points which can identify...

I didn't expect to cause an outright flamewar over this question and have been watching from the sidelines ever since. My original question was "what edition do I have?" and I do stress that I have the book here as I sit. It is dated on CP page only, 1897. In my original post, as John pointed out,...

This morning I went to one of those estate/tag sales run by someone who is supposed to know value. This is the kind where you have to take a number to get into the house, and stand around waiting for half an hour. I was #101. Finally, I go in and look through what is left of the books, and there...

I have a copy of Emily Post's The Title Market, Dodd Mead and Company 1909 with the Soper illustrations. All the copies of this volume I see listed from a Bookfinder search seem to be bound in green or grey cloth boards. My copy is in embossed red cloth boards with blind embossed decoration and...

I have had the good fortune of picking up several interesting books bound in materials other than leather, cloth or paper. Here is a near fine copy of Oriental Annual bound in leather. The boards, however, appear to be lacquered wood with flowers and bird painted in oil...

Lyndon B. Johnson: Man & President... The "Inspiring Life Story" Published Dec. 1963 A paper back... They were in a hurry. This book came out in early December... Kennedy was assasinated in November. This book was the first "study" of Johnson's Presidency. Take a look at...

I am a new collector, grown from being an avid reader. Where is the best place to start. My interests are varied but generally modern; Tom Clancy, Alexander Kent, Terry Pratchett and Tim LaHaye for example. How do you determine what a book is truly worth and how old it really is. What is the...

Hi, I'm hoping one of you might be able to help me with this. I bought a big crate of vintage ragtime, WWI and WWII era sheet music (Roger & Hammerstein, Irving Berlin, Tommy Dorsey...lots more) at a garage sale, and in the midst of this treasure trove, I came upon an original copy of Singin' In...

I've finally taken the plunge and started a blog (= weblog) about my collecting and related thoughts at: http://www.catholicbookcollector.com I've found that it is a more time consuming enterprise than I had imagined, so I'm not sure how long the experiment will last. Your comments are welcome.

Greetings, again - I am endeavoring to put to good use all the helpful information I'm getting from rcb, but I can't quite work out the details on this book: Angkor, Hommes et pierres by Bernard-Phillipe Groslier with photos ("reportage photographique") by Jacques Arthaud (among others, including...

I have decided to forget spending big bucks to collect many of the classics in literature in favor of obtaining the lesser expensive volumes put out by the Modern Library (books published 1917-1970). Since I want these books for reading rather than investment, such a move makes sense. Questions: 1....

I have recently started collecting Baedeker handbooks - a new passion which started after stumbling across a number of the fantastic maps found in Baedekers. I've managed to find a bibliography of English Baedekers prior to WWII, however I can't seem to find any equivalent for the more modern...

My wife is wondering if anyone collects books with missing signatures or books that have incorrect or misplaced signatures. I was not sure if this is subspecialty of book collecting. She is planning to give a talk about signatures at a Toastmaster's Meeting, wanted some background. Thanks Tom

Does anyone know anything about the Shakespeare House? This publishing company fascinates me, and I would like to know more about it. Because of the high caliber of its publications, I find myself wondering if some illustrious editor or publisher was behind it, and I would also like to know if...
