Book club question (again) by my-wings
Jon: Thanks for your comments. As I noted in another post, I discovered that virtually every Simon & Schuster I've got has the "numbers in a box" or at least something like a product or serial number in contrasting color on the back cover. I'm quite sure that's what I was thinking of. I've changed...

This Artgallery10 person by Mark
You know, I think perhaps this action with ebay was the wrong way to handle this. First, let me give you my credentials for believing I am right. I used to be (in another career) a police and courts reporter for several small town newspapers, which means I know what entrapment is and is not....

Fradulent Seller (artgallery10) by Mark
I wanted to add this to the discussion of artgallery10, but thought it might get lost in the sea of "re"s that had built up. I found this on ebay's feedback page for this guy: User artgallery10 (private) has elected to make their Feedback Profile private so comments are not available for public...

Weird Remainder Mark by my-wings
I picked up some fantasy books at my local thrift shop and several of them had a big, black, magic-marker "B" on the page edges. At first I assumed that it was an idiosyncrasy of the former owner ("Bob" perhaps?) but then I found the same title on ABE with a description of the same mark on...

Bookplate or "flatsigned"? by Art Layton
I saw this statement in an eBay listing. Does anyone (besides me)think this is incorrect? SIGNED by President Nixon on the beautifully colored Library and Birthplace Bookplate. A Bookplate is the best guarantee that the signature is authentic. Art Layton Stamford CT

Signed First But No DJ by Mark
I have a copy of John Joseph Matthews' book "Life and Death of an Oilman," it's signed and dated, but there's no dust jacket. Is there a rule of thumb for how to value a book like this? Normally without the jacket it would be good only as a reading copy, but it is signed too. Is there an agreed...

No DJ as issued (a little venting) by Mark
I just spent a fair amount of time trying to price a book without a dust jacket. It took me nearly half an hour to confirm my suspicion that it was issued without one. I dont know where the custom of printing "First Edition" on the copyright page came from, but I'd bet collectors had a hand in...
