Hi all, I have a (maybe) off-topic question. I'm the webmaster of a quit popular website in Belgium that covers popular books (SF, Thrillers and Fantasy : http://www.boekensite.net ) I know that many collectors are visiting my site to find the scans of the book covers I discuss, and as I'm a...

"John A. Stovall" wrote in message ... I have most likely the only signed copy of _Assignment Selous Scouts_ in the States. As some of the regulars here know, I collect books published in Rhodesian during UDI or about...

Okay, I'm getting mixed answers, so I'm turning to the people to whom I should of have asked in the first damn place: you guys. 1. _Game of Thrones_ - is the US the first, or the UK? 2. Neal Stephenson. What are the points for _Cryptonomicon_ and _The Diamond Age_? Anything special, or do the...

Tyson replaces Labor Day with Muslim Eid al-Fitr Chicken company: Workers wanted Islamic religious event recognized Posted: August 02, 2008 12:10 am Eastern By Bob Unruh

My girlfriend anI are going to the Pacific northwest. All she said was she wanted to go to Powell's. (Don't worry about Powell's. It's a damn good book store and a wonder to behold. Anyone who gets cranky about this will be condemned to wandering Barnes & Noble in the after life.) I would like...

I think I've finally realised why I dislike John Pelan so much. It's because he says things like this (a comment posted by him in alt.horror.cthulhu today): "I've helped launch more careers than you've had pieces of ass." I don't think it's possible to be more sexist and egocentric in...

Hi, This is my first post on Google. I don't read latest books and all. But my friend likes to read a lot of novels like old monk who sold his Ferrari and novels from kushwent singh. He is going abroad this weekend. I want to gift him a nice book so that he can remember me there. But my poor...

Am wondering if anyone on the group has seen any other copies of this 1919 limited edition of Strauss' Sechs Brentano-Lieder, published in Berlin by Adolf...

I had been aware of Henry Heins' A Golden Anniversary Bibliography of Edgar Rice Burroughs (both Donald M. Grant editions) for quite some time, though I don't own copies of either edition. I've heard it described as "essential but badly organized." I recently became aware of Robert B. Zeuschner's...

I made a slovenly mistake and included rec.collecting.books in the newsgroups to which I sent a couple of FA posts. I am quite aware that this is innapproriate, since I am a regular reader of this group, and I apologize for the inconvenience. Matthew Hill

Buy rare ebooks in DNL format. http://aregabooks.narod.ru/aregabooks.htm

This is either a rare book, an obscure book, or both. I only see one listing on bookfinder and it was described as an "as new print to order" copy for $92.00. The copy I have is an acceptable hardcover, with a tattered dj with a $3.75 price tag. Any one have more info's on this one? (Perhaps M....

I am looking for a book I thought it was called "The Egyptian Club". I read this book in 4th grade probably about 23 years ago. It was about a group of kids who create a little Egyptian city in an unused lot in the inner city. I would like to try and find this book but all I have to go on is a...

Not that I've been beating the bushes (burning or otherwise), but I found my first uncorrected proof of the Bible: http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3569064124 Still looking for the manuscript. ---Mike

Hi- I have several dozen Harlequin romances some dating back to the 1960's. I find there is little interest in them on the auction sites and I am not sure if I want to bring them to a consignment store where they might get tossed. Does anyone know where I can hook up with someone who collects this...

I have tried this product on two volumes of a four-volume set that reeked (at least to my nose) of cigarette smoke. I put one book in a box with book deodorizer sprinkled around and in the pages. Sealed the box. Another book went into a trash bag and was not tightly sealed. After two days, the...
