"American Gods" question by [email protected]
Does anyone know what the true first of Gaiman's "American Gods" is? I see that both US and UK editions came out in 2001. A search on abebooks.com did not shed any light on this issue, as both editions were offered as "firsts." The U.S. edition precedes by a few weeks. For future...

John F. Kennedy Signature by Scrooge
I know it's very, very, very doubtful, but I thought I'd ask. http://putfile.com/pic.php?pic=2/5821173739.jpg&s=x402 I have no reason to believe this is a forgery for monetary gain. I bought it at a library sale for 50 cents. It is on the front free endpaper of a beat-up book club edition of PT...

TransShipping Request. by Willow Arune

Not quite right association copy . . . by William M. Klimon
I recall threads here some time ago about "not quite right" association copies--you know an interesting book and an interesting inscription but the two not quite seeming to go together. Since I am near Washington, D.C., I pick up not a few such association copies related to politics. One recent...

Best way to clean leather-bound books exposed to grease vapors by [email protected]
I have a bunch of leather-bound books (from Easton Press) that I suspect were exposed to the vapors from cooking grease. They were in a small apartment in which the kitchen's exhaust fan didn't work too well. One of them has a sticky film all over the cover and a number of others feel a bit...
