So what's the deal on bookplates? by
Al Smith
From time to time I've toyed with the idea of designing and

books.
What's the deal with bookplates? Do...

Nicholson Baker quote about browsing by

You know we lose a lot with microfilm, which is not random access
memory. There are consequences when things are only on microfilm:
Real historians of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries
aren't reading the old newspapers very much anymore, though - not page

The perfect bookmark by
Jon Meyers
My wife bought some pillows for our couch and cut off all the labels.
Before she could throw them away, I grabbed one without really looking at
it--just because it was the right size and shape--to mark my place in the
book I was reading. When I returned to the book, this is what I saw
sticking up...

Describing book parts correctly by
Dave
I have a book that has some dents on what I THINK is called the
'untrimmed fore-edge' of the pages. Is this the proper description
for this book part? Is the description of 'dents' complete and clear
enough, as there are no tears, just some of the points slightly folded
over?
Thanks,
Dave

The Dharma Bums by
I have read that the first Viking printing of "The Dharma Bums' incorrectly
states "First Published in 1950". What printing then is the edition that
states "Published in 1958" with no statement of a 2nd or later printing.
