Book Shelves by
Art Nelson
A while back, I believe it was on this news group, someone built bookshelves
and very proudly sent pictures. If that person is still around, would he
please resend the pictures. I was very impressed with the construction and
would like to show them to my son.
Thanks in advance, Art

braves-lady
I started out collecting first edition mysteries, preferably signed. I still
don't know why. But I had this empty bedroom I could put bookcases in, I've
read mysteries since I can't remember when (seems to be a personal challenge
to figure it out before the author spills the beans) so I began. At...

Sixth Sense and Bragster by
William M. Klimon

least to my copy of...

The Canon as set by Authors Cards by
Francis A. Miniter
Last night, when moving boxes in the basement, I came across a true
find. My set of authors cards from the 1950s, purchased by my mother
for me for the price of 15 cents.
Curiously, though, even before they were found, I have been ruminating
on the effect of such games on our perception of both...

Hello all,
I have a bit of a dilemma that I'd like to have you all's input on: I have two
copies of Guy Gavriel Kay's _Tigana_, not a particularly valuable book, but one
