Am wondering if anyone on the group has seen any other copies of this 1919 limited edition of Strauss' Sechs Brentano-Lieder, published in Berlin by Adolf...

The recent stories about Kaavya Viswanathan's partially plagiarized, and possibly ghost-written, novel, _How Opal Mehta Got Kissed, Got Wild and Got a Life_ , coming so closely after the controversy surrounding James Frey's _A Million Little Pieces_ , got me to wondering about the possibilities for...

Acquired today, The Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (600 - 1900). While it does not provide the level of detail that the Bibliography of American Literature provides, (for instance, it notes four editions of Waverly in Edinburgh in 1814, but fails to distinguish which is which)...

When I was working in Buck-A-Book about ten years ago, there were a few copies of a book I forgot to note for myself. The author claimed that John Kennedy was Marcus Aurelius, Jackie Kennedy was Caesar's wife, Calpurnia, and that Joe Kennedy was Julius Caesar. (It was also claimed that John...

Does anybody know a book with a front cover picture of maybe a girl's bedroom full of clothes all messed up, maybe a standing coat or umbrella stand with a fur coat on it. I have been trying to remember the book name recently and am having no luck. I don't remember much else about the book - but...

Last Sunday saw no prior engagements, so despite the weather being overcast I trawled the car boot sales that I knew occured between here and Southampton. Starting at Hurn Airport around 7.30am, at the first stall I looked at was the scarce first issue dustwrapper (only issued at airports) of Le...

My trip to Hay on Wye was cancelled - weather looked awful! So instead, a week later, I travelled from Dorset to Lynton in North Devon, via a good deal of bookshops. I started off in Bridport with 'Bridport Old Books', a lovely shop - unfortunately one of the partners, Stephen Clarke of Clearwater...

I was thinking the other day that it would be beneficial to the bookselling industry if the public was more intelligent. Ocassionally, conspiracy theorists worry about the "dumbing down" of the population for some nefarious reason. It seems that if many people are getting less capable of reading...

I think I did well today. J. D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye. Little, Brown, 9th printing, August 1951 in truly fine condition, black boards, bright gilt on spine, no bumping, no marking. With a bright dust jacket ($3.00 price) in at least very fine condition, having only an 1/8 inch tear...

This morning I went to one of those estate/tag sales run by someone who is supposed to know value. This is the kind where you have to take a number to get into the house, and stand around waiting for half an hour. I was #101. Finally, I go in and look through what is left of the books, and there...

In the thread, A Lesson In Bibliography, January, 2003, I related how Sandy Malcolm helped me identify a dictionary that I bought for less than ten dollars. The dictionary was missing its covers, its title page and thirty-one other leaves. I was able to identify it as a Johnson's Dictionary, but...

For those of you who collect books, or just love fiction in general, I hope this may start an interesting new thread for discussion: Any book collector has a "what if" thought: what if I had been able to buy a first issue of "To Kill a Mockingbird" fresh off the press all those years ago. Or...

Every Johnsonian has probably heard that the Houghton Library at Harvard inherited the Donald and Mary Hyde Collection of Samuel Johnson. Every Shakespearian has probably heard that Christie's auctioned off almost all of the Shakespeare books and other English Drama from the estate of Mary...

Some time back, someone wondered whether or not a "collection", properly speaking, could consist of as few as two books. To demonstrate that it can, and that there is no niche so narrow that someone hasn't squeezed into it, I offer the article, "An Analysis of America's Two Threshing Novels,"...
