Outer hinge repair by
Carney Wilde
I have a copy of the Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler, 2nd printing,
Alfred Knopf, 1939. The cloth along the rear outer hinge is splitting
about 2 1/2 inches in length. What sort of glue would be appropriate
for this repair and what is the best way to apply it. The separation is
quite narrow.
Thanks...

How Many Men Have Become Books? by
William M. Klimon
Or, more specifically, how many authors have become eponyms for their
books--or perhaps a genre of books?
These come immediately to my mind:
Bartlett's (Quotations)
Webster's (Dictionary)
Fowler's (Modern English Usage)
Gray's (Anatomy)
Black's (Law Dictionary)

Completism by
Denton Taylor
So what do you think: Is a complete collection of signed firsts by a
single writer greater than the sum of its parts?
If I find a writer I am particularly taken by, I chase down all the
works by that author and attempt to get them signed.
For arguments' sake, let's say a writer has ten novels...

a bookseller's plot to make the public more intelligent? by
telicalbook
I was thinking the other day that it would be beneficial to the
bookselling
industry if the public was more intelligent. Ocassionally, conspiracy
theorists

reason.
