Valuable book by Dolly Dagger
I have a valuable book. I'm not sure what the title is. I'm even less sure who the author is. I don't have a clue who published it. I haven't seen it in over 30 years. Can anyone tell me how much it's worth and where I might sell it? TIA

How do you organize old books (and booklets)? by Jean B.
I have SO many books plus booklets, some antique magazines and newspapers, etc. How does one organize such things? On one hand, I'd like to organize them logically, say, by author or subject. On the other, items seem to be happier when organized by size.... Relatedly, especially if organizing...

one repulsive store and repugnant practices by Jean B.
It is a nice day today, so I was meandering around Concord, Massachusetts, mostly looking for old and antique books and booklets. I wandered into a store I hadn't been in before and almost everything was decorated with snipped up old books and booklets. Indeed, the first thing I saw was what...

Another good book sale weekend by Francis A. Miniter[_2_]
None of these are particularly precious books - no first editions, but I am thrilled, nevertheless. Robert Graves, The Greek Myths (Penguin 1957], 2nd American printing in two volumes in slipcase. What truly appeals to me about this (aside from the fact that it is Graves) is that he...

FOTL Sale Yesterday by Scurvy Dog[_3_]
Went to a local FOTL yesterday. Lots of books but very little collectible items. I did, however, get a box full of hardcover summer reading fiction plus some very nice art books with nice color plates for a mere $5.

Obama to Russia - Go ahead and bomb us, I won't stop you! by Scurvy Dog[_2_]
Obama heeded the call of his masters in the Kremlin and announced that the USA would not use its nuclear weapons EVEN IF ATTACKED. So go ahead Russia, bomb New York - Obama won't do a goddamn thing. Obama must be impeached and put on trial for what he is - a traitor.
