Rat Show in Port Orchard by
paghat
Just got back from the rat exhibition near Port Orchard, Washington. Very
few people attending, mainly it was a fun party for the exhibitors, but if
they'd hoped the public would come, I don't think the public even knew
about it. Some very cute ratties of course; all looked healthy; a very...

copy, as does U. Tennessee at Knoxville, but that's all I've...

Brag proudly by
William M. Klimon
I've been away on vacation for a couple of weeks and upon my return
I've noticed some trepidation about bragging. Isn't that what we're
here for (at least in part)?!?!
I spent my vacation in Portland, Oregon, which should have meant lots
of booking. But my time was taken up with fishing...

EBay listing problem by
[email protected]
Every time my wife or I have tried to list
a book for sale on EBay, we've crashed.
EBay ain't talking (as usual) and WEBTV
seems to think EBay's format may no longer be compatible with WEBTV.
(This
has only happened in the last few days
that we know about, since we don't list
during the summer.)...

removing adhesive by
Denise Enck
I've made a good discovery - an eraser that easily removes adhesive. Works
like a charm!
It's made by Xyron, and is called an "adhesive eraser." Though it's made to
be used with Xyron's own adhesive systems, the package says that it "strips
most adhesive residues," and I've found that to be the...

Doesn't anybody know how to pack a book? by
Jim
I bought five books in the last few weeks from alibris, and four of
them had to be sent back. One of them was not at all as described,
which is a separate problem, but the others were unacceptable on
arrival because they had not been packed properly.
Two large books were dropped into the cheapest...

The ebay seller Parnassum03 has a lot of interesting signed books for
sale. Among his gems are two signed books by Thomas Pynchon and two
signed books by DH Lawrence - all with a no reserve starting bid of
about $20. The bargain of the millenium, it sounds like.
