Hi,
Very new to this, but would like to get into the addiction of book
collecting. Can anyone recommend a *how-to* book or two to read. Also advice

Thanks, Bub

Signature of Author - "Touching the Void" by
Art Layton
Does anyone have a scan of Joe Simpson's signature? He wrote "Touching
the Void" in 1986. The book is about surviving an accident while
mountain climbing in the Andes. I saw the movie over the weekend. An
incredible story!

In Re Dermatological Ephemera (Boswell) by
Harry Brown
All of this even further reminds me:
I own two volumes from Montague Summers' library, including one published in
1903 which he obviously used while studying for the Roman priesthood -- and

concerns the Church's views on sex...

Difference between British and American Firsts? by
[email protected]
Greetings,
I am new here, hope you don't mind......
What is the difference between British and American First Editions?
If a book is published in the UK first, then, a month later comes out
in America, is the American version truly a "First?"
Just wondering.

History of Book Row by

There is a new book that has just been published about the history of book
row. In fact the title is "Book Row." So far it is enjoyable reading. I like
the bibliography as it mentions other books about book collecting and
selling.
