Victor Gollancz by
krik999
I just recently picked up a copy of The Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut
published by Victor Gollancz. I bought it for my Vonnegut collection but am
now interested in the SF series on a whole. Does anyone know if there is a
complete list of the series? I tried digging around on line and came...

Pet Peeves? by
William M. Klimon
Mine is folks trying to pass off nonfirsts as first editions of Thomas
Merton's SEVEN STOREY MOUNTAIN, one of the key books in my collection.
One problem is that there was a Taiwanese pirate edition in the 1960s
that looks much like the first edition in the first state binding (see
below). The...

With nowhere to turn I thought I might try my luck here. Does anyone
know the name or more importantly where I can order those wall mounted
bookshleves that the shelf is wavy...not straight, so the books go up
and down along the shelf? Thank you in advance!

Robert Burns by
T@home
Good Morning Everyone,
My mother gave me some books and there is one in particular that I am
curious about. Sometimes in checking certain websites as to the value
of a book, the information isn't an exact match, i.e., date. Anyway I
have The Complete Poetical Works of Robert Burns with...

Unknown Film/TV Program/Literary Work. by
Edward Hennessey
I faintly recall a passage in what may have been a black and
white
film or program which I saw on late-night TV a decade ago that
may have some literary basis.
Basically, a man and a woman, both perhaps late twenties to early
thirties, had engaged in a long-distance epistolary exchange
which had...

LiRM
For insurance purposes and also in the event of say a house fire, I'm
trying to get realistic prices for what my books are worth.
I use Readerware software, which allows me to go to various web sites
and pull data on any field - one of which, of course, is price.

What's the most you've ever paid for a book? by
[email protected]
At Armadillocon, I was on a panel about book collecting with Scott Cupp
and Bill Crider. Scott mentioned a few books that he bought when they
first came out that he couldn't buy now because "there are commas in
the price."
Personally, I've never bought a book with commas in the price. (There
are a...

I guess that makes you a slum-dweller,

Other than complain about it, what have you done to improve it?

Why the insane prices for this book? by
Chris_K
ISBN 0061011703 - Postcards from France
Is this book really worth $200+ ? I can't seem to find it anywhere
online for less than that.
In other words, is this a genuine rare book or just a handful of
sellers listing it for high prices and waiting for someone to bite?

Ebay Signatures by
Denton Taylor
Hey all:
So what do you think about these auctions, all for signed books?
http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZmicongwQQhtZ-1
The photos suck. And the signatures all seem to be with the same pen.
Even Eudora Welty, from 1956, seems to be signed with a sharpie. Did
they exist back then?
