Light touch paper, and stand well clear.
Every bit the man George Sand was, I'd say.
Wasn't his girlfriend Evelyn Waugh? Or was it Joan Miro?

Price clipped - how much difference does it make? by
.pd.
Hello bibliophiles,
I have read the FAQ but it doesn't give an idea of how much difference
price clipping makes to the value of a book.
I'm not very experienced in book collecting and I've been told it's not
worth buying if it's price clipped.
Is it true?

SIXPENCE HOUSE first printing? by
Jim
The copy of Paul Collins' SIXPENCE HOUSE I just got from Amazon has
the note "First Edition," but the number line only goes to 2.
I'm not familiar with Bloomsbury's style. Does this (as I fear) mean I
have a second printing of the first edition?

Editorials...was "Copying Dust Jacket blurbs" by

Richard Moriarty asked:
On what basis do think that it is ok to copy dustjacket blurbs in book
listings?
To which Mark Healy answered:
Legally, I don't know or care. I don't like it and it reduces my
estimation of the seller.
