I am hoping that someone well versed in old English literature can assist me with the following enquiry. In 1867, James Orchard Halliwell-Phillips produced an edition of the ancient ballads known as the "Daniels Collection", "A Collection of Seventy-Nine Black-Letter Ballads and Broadsides". The...

Hi I have lots of magazine back issues for sale at my website. www.iluvmags.com Thanks for reading my post!

Just so nobody will think that my only collecting interest is in Groff Conklin, I've just gotten a paperbound copy of the Gnome Press Nelson Bond title, _The Thirty-First of February_, the first such I've ever seen. It ain't in great shape, although considering the poor binding and the years, it...

From their site: This year marks the start of an exciting new era for New York Is Book Country. For the first time in our 25-year history, we will be moving our annual fall festival from Fifth Avenue to the gloriously restored Washington Square Park and surrounding areas of New York...

Hello, my mother in law recently showed me her library and one of the collections was very interesting. It is a Samuel Pepys Diary. I offered to look it up online to give her a quick reference on what it might be worth, but she told me I wouldn't be able to find much out. I was rather surprised...

In the auction lots I mentioned earlier, I found 2 books which are neither important nor valuable but seem interesting enough to write up about. On reexamination of a 19th century novel I was unfamiliar with I noted that the cover describes the author of Shirley as also having written Jane Eyre. ...

I've just begun reading *The Book On the Bookshelf* by Henry Petroski. He's apparently an engineer (or at least he writes about them) that finds fascination in ordinary technology. (One of his previous titles is *The Pencil*, touted on the back cover as enough to ensure that: "...No readers of this...

This book had a "story within a story". One of the characters told a story about a young man whose head was flattened (lollipop shape) and had a white wolf as a companion. The character in the man story told the flattened head story serial style. I can't find anyone who recalls this book. I'd...
