Listing book with multiple agents. by
Robert Harmon
What are the ethical/legal implications of listing a book with multiple
agents, i.e., Alibris.com, Abebooks.com, Half.com, etc? What if I toss in
an eBay.com listing? Aren't I implying an exclusive right to sell my book
when I list with an agent? So what happens if I get people wanting to buy

which has been out for only a few weeks. I took the dust jacket off to examine
the boards (blind-stamped floral pattern in a purplish brown from top to bottom
on the right edge), but what caught my eye is that the dust...

It's Not Just People on ebay by
Evelyn C. Leeper
I am amazed on the number of people whose listings show up on
bookfinder.com who think that "signed" means that the owner has written
his name on the inside of the front cover.

A probably clinical manic buyer joined ebay today and went on a wild
buying spree. In a few hours he bought more than 700 items, many of them
costing thousands of dollars. After a few hours someone pulled the plug
and he is now no longer a registered user. All well and good. But I am

I picked up some fantasy books at my local thrift shop and several of them
had a big, black, magic-marker "B" on the page edges. At first I assumed

found the same title on ABE with a description of the same mark on...
