How much improvement can be made to a book (let's say ex-lib) without so stating in the ad? Removal of an endpaper? Sanding down (and away) of a "Discard" stamp? Replcing a page carefully? Any guidelines? Mention all modifications form purchase or before? Willow

I came across a few interesting titles while hunting the other day. A paperback copy of "DR WHO in an Exciting Adventure with the DALEKs". Not knowing anything about science fiction, I picked it up for the quarter asked. 1965 Armada edition, and presumably the first paperback. Nice shape but I...

As I've probably mentioned before, I work part-time for a charity bookshop in the UK. We aren't a "thrift shop", we are trying to maximize the return on what we're given rather than hand out bargains to all and sundry.

Regarding the Books, Inc "Art-Type Edition" of Oliver Twist which I mentioned yesterday, I have news that should interest many of our readers.

There is discussion on the Alibris boards about several sellers (including myself) not being paid in a timely fashion. They are supposed to be paying every two weeks, it's been several days overdue for some of us, and supposedly over a month now for another. -- -- Robert Pearson

Who are the most annoying - spammers or nitpickers? I say the nitpickers are way, way more annoying. They spend times longer on their hissing fits than it takes to just ignore the spammers message.
