Ok, my dad has this book I was wondering about. My mother bought a bunch of German books at a garage sale or an auction or something.

My thoughts on this - and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong - but as its a new layout but still...

In 1993, I posted USENET articles about some books I wanted to sell at the time.

I don't remember anyone bragging about their latest book finds lately, so I'll start a new thread... At an estate sale in Southern California, I attended a sale from a dealer who always advertises great books, even though his sales usually are NEVER as good as promised. This one was no different,...

If you have 1000 or more books, you need some security, especially to protect the valuable books; and the world is full of book-robbers. So what do I need to protect my books? Guardian dogs? Electro-fences ? Barbed wire? Force fields?
