Hi, I am wanting to dispose of a full run of "Book and Magazine Collector" magazine from issue 1 to 200. They are in good condition except for marks in the advertising part where I have indicated items of interest. In view of the weight I think I would expect the person getting them to collect...

I'm sick of the rise in fake jackets being sold on ebay and elsewhere. Can't think of anything else to say, bye.

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...

How do you determine the value of this book: Licenfed November 23, 1675 Roger L'Eftrange It appears to be a book about different kinds of drinks made from fruit juices. It's leather bound (leather just wraps around the inside cover) and measures 4.75" x 7" x 1". The title isn't readable on the...

At a local thrift the other day, I found an uncorrected proof of *The Best of Walter M. Miller, Jr.* (1980). A nice item in itself, but also a good selection of the short fiction of one of the most interesting of Catholic convert authors of the 20/c. William M. Klimon http://www.gateofbliss.com

One perk of owning a used bookstore is that people cleaning out houses after their parents' deaths offer you book collections for free. My brag for this week--located amidsts a vast amount of 1950's book club popular fiction--is a first edition (but with less valuable variant binding) of Jack...
