Has anyone else received an email like this? by Nobody
I received this email this morning. (I edited it for length. And the x's in the address are mine too in case this is a legitimate message.) That Nigeria address makes me nervous, with all the foreign scams going around. .... But if it is, who'd want to target booksellers of all people. Go after...

Flaw or advantage? by Jbrodie1750
Even if a book is "fine" I am under the impression that the presence of a book- plate reduces the condition to "near fine." But what about a book that has the book-plate of a fairly well known author? In this case the author is Paul Horgan, who, while not exactly a celebrity, did win two Pulitzer...

Winner for Most Inexplicable Bookdealer Shipping by Lawrence Person
OK, this is something of a followup to the EBay ripoff thread. Let's see if anyone can top this story for sheer, unbridled, PROACTIVE stupidity on the part of a bookseller. (And mind you, not some random eBay feb; we're talking someone who deals on ABE and Alibris.) Now, laziness I understand;...
