"Flyboys" by James Bradley by
Art Layton
I just finished reading Mr. Bradley's latest book, "Flyboys", about
the use of air power against the Japaneses in WWII. I expect this book
will become a classic. However, it is likely there will be some
negative feedback because of the discussion of American atrocities
during the Pacific war.
What...

Book of Mormon by
R. Sokolnicki
Does anyone know the printing history of the 1858 (Zadoc Brock) edition of
"The Book of Mormon" published/printed by James O. Wright?
I understand that it was used by early RLDS missionaries.
I'm trying to determine until what year the 1858 edition was printed and if
it is fairly common.
Thanks...

Need tips on handling new books by
Bruno Hache
Hello,
First time poster here. Is there a specific way to handle new hardcover
books? I'd like to know if there's a way to open them without cracking the
spine - keep them looking like new? I'm stuck with a few hundred $ worth of
college texts this semester - too nice to carelessly damage...

The one I almost skipped...(mini-brag) by
my-wings
I have been skipping rummage sales lately since I have more books than shelf
space as it is, but it was a nice day, and there was no traffic in the
oncoming lanes, so I made a split second decision to cut left and swing into
a long driveway near a local church.
It turned out that the rummage sale...

William Gaddis - A Frolic of His Own by

I found a paperback copy of "A Frolic of His Own" by William Gaddis. I
realized later that the spine of the book is printed incorrectly - it says
"A Frolic of His of His Own". It's the first paperback edition, first
printing.
I've seen later copies with the correct spine, but I can't find...

Colin Powell - real of fake signature? by

I picked up a Random House First Edition of the book *My American Journey*
by Colin Powell on one of my rummage sale sprees, and it has what looks like
a signature on the half-title page. I say "looks like" because the signature
seems to be done in felt tip, but the stock is coated, and it's...

what's the THRILL of collecting by
[email protected]
I agree with "the thrill of the hunt" as
motivation for collecting, but it's the
almost smug pleasure of owning something rare, special, and to the
finder at least, beautiful, and in that
sense again, meaningful. I could give
examples from book hunting, but a
previous passion, collecting World...
