Advice sought by a rank beginner by
Dave Rude
Hello,
Certainly not a brag, but I have about 500 books adorning my walls, and some
are quite old. Would someone suggest a "beginners" book on book collecting
or a good website to me please? I do fancy Jack Higgins, Robert Ludlum, and
if pressed for the whole truth, Ian Flemming. Ken Follet and...

Mis-bound book values by
Keith Williams
Hi!
How much value (if any) does having a mis-bound book add to its value?
I have a mis-bound Order of the Pheonix from the Harry Potter series and
didn't know how rare this was. One entire section 50+ pages repeats itself
(replacing what should have been there).
Any insight is much appreciated.

Water damaged poster by
Susan
I recently found a numbered print rolled up in a poster tube. The problem is it has been water damaged at some point and therefore stuck, unable to unroll. The poster is very much of interest to me and my employment, not of value otherwise that I know of. Any idea how I might remedy this in...

question about cleaning books with alcohol by
bookkeeper
Hello,
I've been ferreting about looking for ways to handle cleaning up
cloth-bound books that have some minor mildew. These are not books
for resale, but books that have recently come into my care. What
mildew there is is very minor (on a scale of 1-10 it's about a 0.5).

I have no reason to believe this is a forgery for monetary gain. I bought it
at a

A Littel Boasting by
Willow Arune
Well, with three sales now under by belt, as it were, I have topped $10,000.
The last - 22 books for $3000.
It seems I have discovered a market, one that needs little tending. The
total advertising for the three sales was six e-mails outbound.
I think I'll keep this going for time. My...

How is it possible for a small lily flower to contain an ocean? Does it not sound absurd? Like sheer madness? Yet it is true that the desire of our individual ego is to be the master of everything. This is its dharma. The limitless thirst of our doer "I" wants all....

Making books your own by
Bill Palmer
It occurs to me that some of the disagreement which
arises in this newsgroup crops up because a number of
posters write from the standpoint of the dealer and/or
investor, rather than from the collector with a love of
books. While in many cases the resulting viewpoints
do not need to conflict at...
