Miami bookstores? by
William M. Klimon
After my recent trip to Miami, I figured out why no one responded to my
query of a couple of weeks ago: quite simply, the pickings there seem rather
slim.
I had to wait till Sunday really to explore. Two of the places I wanted to
check out were closed, but I did go to the 2 branches of The...

Chippewa Nation signature in book by
Bob Streeter
I recently acquired a rather beat up copy of a book called The Great
West by Henry Howe. The front end paper has an inscription "Presented
to Moses Hapgood by his red brother Maungaundano of the Chippewa

rough guess. The lettering...

the Wind_ (o.t. _La Sombra del Viento_), by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. Apparently
it was a bestseller in Spain and throughout Europe, and it has gotten the
inevitable comparisons to _The Name of the Rose_ and _The Club...

Seeking information on previous owner of books by
pyan
I'm not sure this is the right group to post to, but I thought perhaps
someone here knows more than I do about tracing a books history.
These books came into my possession, and I just feel drawn to finding
the previous owner or descendants.

I picked up a slim hardcover volume at a library sale, but it has no
markings on it from the public library. The title is:
"Today, Tomorrow ... and the day after. Four writings by Warren Bennis,
President, University of Cincinnati". I don't see an ISBN number, merely

Folio Society - ever a first edition ? by
Andy Dingley
One of my local booksellers (a rant will be posted soon) is fond of
labelling all of their stock as "first editions". In many cases, this
