William M. Klimon
Just received for a pittance (£12.50) from a British dealer:

Bradley, 1852.
A little apologetic novel, of a not-uncommon type, but apparently scarce in
this instance. Dedicated to J.H. Newman. Not in BL, LC, OCLC, or RLIN.

Obscure titles in way-too-broad topics by
Allison Turner-
When I was quite young, my cousin had an antique Cinderella
book that I was fascinated by. I was told by my mother to
only handle it very, very carefully, if at all.
So in my current attempt to track down anything and everything
book-wise that I might be remotely interested in (I'm supposed
to be...

Order Canceled! by
Billy Bob
It never fails. I'll find a good deal - an old book selling for say $10 or
$20 on ABE (others are selling for up to $200), then order the book, then I
get a notice that the order has been processed.
A few days later I get a notice that the order has been canceled!
The seller claims that the book...

What is the *real* title of that book? by
Billy Bob
I've seen several books which have different titles...
-On the binding.
-On second page or so.
-On the copyright page.
(All three are different, but use similar words.)
Then when searching for that book on the internet, book dealers may use any
of the three titles for the book.

5,000 at most and 10,000 as an occasional passing thought. I...

Shenanigans with book titles, plagiarism, etc. by
Billy Bob
I think there were a few "scoundrels" in the book publishing business in
days past!
I have been working on adding to my book collection recently. I will do
quite a bit of research on a particular subject, and then will discover new
(to me) titles of books in the 1800's and early 1900's.
Then I...
