Francis A. Miniter
Does anyone know of a safe way to remove yellow highlighter marks from pages?
They were, of course, made over sentences.

Madness In the Listings by
Francis A. Miniter
Looking up one of the last remaining books left to me by my mother, Anya Seton's
"Green Darkness", on Addall.com, I found, as I have several times lately,
absolute lunacy in the asking prices. As to this book,
A dealer named "Yesterday's Muse" has several listings - ranging from $13,455...

Book Restoration by
[email protected]
How much improvement can be made to a book (let's say ex-lib) without
so stating in the ad?
Removal of an endpaper? Sanding down (and away) of a "Discard" stamp?
Replcing a page carefully?
Any guidelines? Mention all modifications form purchase or before?

asked. 1965 Armada edition, and presumably the first paperback. Nice shape
but I...

bookshop in the UK. We aren't a "thrift shop", we are trying to
maximize the return on what we're given rather than hand out bargains
to all and sundry. Unfortunately our central IT department won't
let us do Internet sales in any...

Alibris Not Making Current Payments? by
[email protected]
There is discussion on the Alibris boards about several sellers
(including myself) not being paid in a timely fashion.
They are supposed to be paying every two weeks, it's been several
days overdue for some of us, and supposedly over a month now for
another.

Who are worst - spammers or nitpickers? by
Shelf Space
Who are the most annoying - spammers or nitpickers?
I say the nitpickers are way, way more annoying. They spend times
longer on their hissing fits than it takes to just ignore the spammers
message.

An apology by
UKBookWorld
In the last few days, I've posted a couple of "FS: Books for sale" listings
to this newsgroup thinking, inaccurately, that commercial postings were
acceptable.
Please accept my unreserved apologies.
