If you were collecting books (fiction and non-fiction) about WWI (The Great War), where would you start? These would have to be printed or translated in english. Can you recommend dealers that specialize in WWI books? Art Layton Stamford, CT USA

"The World's Classics" query... by Jbrodie1750
Are "The World's Classics" published by the Oxford University Press considered collectible? I have half a mind to start collecting them. Would I be alone ...or are there other nutcases out there who have already thought of this? Jonathan

"We cannot disassemble a book in any way..." by John Yamamoto-Wilson
We had a lot of discussion on rcb about dust jackets a few months ago. A lot of people - especially Americans - insisted that, as long as it was the same issue as the book, it really was an academic point whether a particular dust jacket originally belonged to a particular book, i.e., it was fine...

"Friends of the Library" Book Sales by Evelyn C. Leeper
Well, book sale season is upon us and there seem to have been some major changes this year in the nature of "Friend of the Library" (FotL) book sales (and other fund-raising sales). For example, many FotL sales now ban scanners. While some people seem to think the laser scanner is a liability...

"Improving" a first folio of the Bard by Walter Traprock
Just a heads up, there's an amusing story about a first folio of shakespeare being damaged by a talkative aunt in Edmund Pearson's book, Books In Black Or Red, in a chapter called "The Lost First Folio". I've also seen the story in some anthology in the Books On Books section of the bookstore.

"Popery Exposed", By Ferdinando Petruccelli della Gattina by Jeff Dege
I'm in the process of reshelving all my books, and sorting out what I don't need for sale. There are few items for which the local half-price store doesn't seem to be the appropriate sale venue. The book in the subject is one. Any ideas where I might find someone interested in it? Or how I...

"The Illustrated Library of the World and Its Peoples" - recent editions? by [email protected]
This comes in 17 red volumes, I think, with LOTS of color photos, and each volume covers two or three small countries, or, in the case of China, the reverse. (That is, China takes 373 pages, or more than a volume and a half.) I'm guessing it's suitable for use by high-schoolers. The trouble is,...

"Who is John Galt" (and what's he *really* worth) by [email protected]
I'm curious if there is a way to find out what books published - since say the 1940's on - are worth the most money. I believe Mr. Gates paid quite a large sum for one of DaVinci's surviving works, and although that in itself is an interesting topic, I'm thinking more along the lines of books...

"Yes, Mary Kennedy, you try and fix things with the BIG boss!" by [email protected]
This is amazing! Although addall.com lists 170 Fredric Wertham items (including magazine articles and books) there is not one copy of his famous anti-comic book screed "Seduction of the Innocent" listed. My prediction: The next fine or near-fine copy with d.j. will be listed at upwards of...

"Your United States" by Arnold Bennett. by Al Smith
I've got what I believe may be the first edition of "Your United States" by Arnold Bennett. Harper and Brothers Publishers, New York and London, MCMXII . Unfortunately, when I bought it the book was missing its cover, and its spine had been half gnawed away by mice, so I had to re-bind it. I bound...
