Quasi-tissue guards? by
my-wings
I picked up a copy of *Gun Engraving Review* today, and the color plates in
the front of the book are protected by a nearly transparent sheet of
something that looks like very thin, textured wax paper rather than tissue.
Does anyone know if there is a special name for this kind of picture guard...

The Brandeis book sale held in Skokie last month was announced to be
the last. It was by far the largest used book sale in the Chicago
area, and must have been one of the largest in the world.
I was never very happy with its pricing and selection, but it's going

Van Wyck Mason - Seeds of Murder by

Hello,
I recently bought an old copy of Van Wyck Mason's Seeds of Murder. It
says it was published in 1930 by Crime Club, however, it doesn't state

color.
Any ideas on how to...
