First Edition Library books by
scotologic
Does anyone know of a group specifically for collector's of First
Edition Library books? I used to collect these, but I lost interest in
them. They have been untouched on my shelves for over a decade, and I
would rather see them go in a collection than off to our local
library's book sale.

Must Visit Bookstores in San Francisco? by
William M. Klimon
I hope to have some time tomorrow afternoon to do some booking in San
Francisco. What's your must-visit bookstore in San Francisco?
(I'm more interested in nonfiction than fiction, more scholarly than
popular, more antiquarian than modern.)

Small brag by
P Sears
Stopped at an antique store last weekend and found a book labelled
"Old Foreign Book" for $15. Although it is in old German script
(fraktur, I think it is called), I recognized it as being 3 volumes in
one (ostensibly) by Albertus Magnus, the alchemist that lived in the
1200's. "Sympathetic and...

Gerry Lintonice
I have a collection of thousands of books and some are really, really
EVIL. For example the Necronimicon ex mortis. A very evil book. Several
possessed bibles with demons trapped inside. EVIL stuff. Don't forget
all the voodoo books, it's really dangerous to open them.
But the most evil book I...

Uncut signatures normal or no? by
Whiteleather
I have several "Complete works of..." sets with uncut signatures. For
instance all of my "Complete Works of Dickens" printed in 1902 have to
have the front edges cut every 4 pages or so. At the end, the top
edges need to be cut. The same is true of my fancy bound
"...Thackeray".

Edgar Rice Burroughs: Heins vs. Zeuschner by
Lawrence Person
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...
