Book Storage Question by George M
I have some books I want to store in an outside building which is protected from the elements (e.g. rain, wind, dust, etc). They will be in small sealed, cardboard boxes (12' x 12" x 12"). I am thinking of also wrapping them in plastic stretch wrap (the stuff they use on shipping pallets) thus...

Still regular by Bob
Just a quick note to let you all know I'm still regular. I've added fiber to my diet, so that may be helping. I took a gigantic dump this morning, accompanied by much groaning and farting. The entire bowl was splattered with poop, so I called my wife to take a look and, incidently, clean up the...

Making books your own by Bill Palmer
It occurs to me that some of the disagreement which arises in this newsgroup crops up because a number of posters write from the standpoint of the dealer and/or investor, rather than from the collector with a love of books. While in many cases the resulting viewpoints do not need to conflict at...

1954 Encyclopedia Britannica Value by Betemer
Can anyone give me some information about the worth of my 1954 Encyclopedia Britannica 23 volume set? It's almost never been used, and is in good shape. If you can give me any leads on how much it's worth (or where I can get this information) it would be greatly appreciated.

Minor Brag by Francis A. Miniter
Yesterday I went into my local FOTL bookstore and found that they must have received a donation recently from the household of a serious reader. And, it seems, they missed the significance of at least one book. I picked up a first printing of Alan Hollinghurst's 1988 novel "The Swimming Pool...

Cleaning books? (No bleach, please!) by Jim
I recently won an ebay auction for a nice copy of the Heritage Press edition of Saint-Simon's MEMOIRS (1959). I'm very pleased with the overall condition of the book, but when I examine it closely, I see that the cloth on the spine has darkened compared with the covers (which of course have been...

A Happy Find by Francis A. Miniter
Two days ago, I went to a hearing in Waterbury, Connecticut, and exited from the highway to the city by a different route than usual. It led me past a bookstore that I had not known about before - The John Bales Book Company. So much later in the day, after the hearing was over, I went over...

Old Books by Ken_Prospero
I am looking at acquiring a copy of Shakespeare's Third Folio. The problem (as with most Folios) is imperfections. In this case, about 4% of the leaves are facsimile, and about 6% come from another volume of the Folio. Most of the facsimile pages are in the prefatory material (and this...

eBay SURPRISE! by Bud Webster
Bad day today. Too much work, people coming in from out of town, and just feeling like crap. Then came the high spot - the mail. With it came a package, a nice copy of Weinbaum's _The Black Flame_, Fantasy Press 1948. Book was tight, jacket a tad rubbed and some wear at the edges, but overall...
