Was it a brag or a near miss? by
ann greenfield
About six months ago, I wrote that I had found a first of Orson Scott
Card's Ender's Game (for a buck at a FOTL sale). Now, I wonder.
McBride says that TOR states, "N or FE (m, y) w/ N". My copy says

library copy do not remove from office must be returned to library." But, since
it's a first edition, first binding state with vg dj, I was happy...

Tim Robinson
Greetings all,
I have a copy of "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" that I would
like some information about. The most curious aspect is that it is

Book size by
Is the size of a book given as the size of its pages or the size of its
boards? I see many book dealers on the internet using board size but, for
ex. The Limited Editions Club describes its books using the page size.
