Trying to locate childhood home. Lived in the Amityville/Copaigue area but was too young to know the address. Parents divorced/deceased. I will be in NY from 3/28-4/11 & would like to finally end this life-long search. Thanks! AngelmomNC

Has anyone read any books by Susan Donovan? I think they are absolutely amazing. I read one the other night and i couldn't put it down,. I read it one whole session and finished at 4:45am. Can anyone recommend any other romantic authors as good as her?

Has anyone read any of Susan Donovans books?

This is probably a Jon Meyers question (and the type question this group was originally formed to answer but that's a discussion for a different day)... In the Bookfinder listings for this book, three points are mentioned for a first state dust jacket. One is pretty simple as there is a blurb...

Anyone know if all Texas A&M first printings state FE? McBride says so, but I know there are exceptions with other publishers. Before you ask, the book is Leaving Cheyenne by Larry McMurtry, Texas A&M, 1986, number three of the Southwest Landmark series. This is the only one I've seen and it's...

About six months ago, I wrote that I had found a first of Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game (for a buck at a FOTL sale). Now, I wonder. McBride says that TOR states, "N or FE (m, y) w/ N". My copy says "First TOR printing January, 1985" but there is no number line. The DJ has a price of...

There are several listings for this book stating that the typos on page 137 are present...anyone know on what line the mistake was made and what it is? TIA. Ann

Last Sunday I had a marvelous time at a local FOTL sale. Since brags don't seem to go over very well any more, I'll call this a "happy find". I had picked out more than 30 mysteries (all firsts, to either keep or give to friends) when I spotted what I thought to be a pretty good SF title...Orson...

How dare you question my integrity as well as my intelligence? If I were devious enough to pull a stunt like that, do you think I would be stupid enough to brag about it on a newsgroup? First, the auction is from a private collection, each book bearing a numbered slip, displayed in glass cases,...

There is to be an auction here with some excellent books, even though many are listed as firsts but aren't. I have my doubts about this one...it has the points (dot between the 8's on page 88, and "pendula" on page 9) but the DJ is price clipped. Actually, it is clipped on both corners of the...

Of course I misspelled the author's name -- it's John M. Siddall. My bad. Anne

I have a copy of "Sid Says" by John M. Sidall, 1917. When I go to various sites (AddALL, abebooks, alibris) to check prices and other editions, most of the descriptions state "Not published with dust jacket." However, my copy does have a dust jacket, so these descriptions must (?) be...

I have been buying selling and collecting since about 1960. Recently, since I am getting old and am not too well, I decided to sell of a lot of my stuff in various fields. It has been interesting to notice differences. On the West coast, auctions bring very little for rare childrens books of the...

Sorry Jerry I don't get back here very often. Thank you for your nice note. Your collecting pattern, including bibliographies is sure to be one which could be helpful to many serious young collectors. You have so much easy information at home, I have seen you help the pros. I went to the Hyde...

I don't do Saturday shopping. Whenever I find something it is a red letter day. I came across a title not on my list. I do collect Canadian humor in my period if I can find it. This one, I never want listed. Anon. World Of Wit, A Complete Collection Of Pithy Morceaux, Arranged As Puns, Bon-mots,...

Dear Mr. Klimon, Thanks for the correction. I am not getting OCLC directly lately. I was hoping that the OCLC I can get at ABAA and at Biblio was accurate, because otherwise I would have to reinstall it through my usual source. Now I see I will have to reinstall it on my new computer. Meanwhile I...

I changed machines some years ago and could not figure out how to get to you. Today I found out by accident. So I am back and I will try to be helpful as I was in the now, dim, past. I am going out of business as a dealer, because of age and its infirmities but I am continuing to collect my odd...
