Congressional follies redux by
The Bobino
"Republican lawmakers and aides failed for a decade to protect male
pages from sexual come-ons by former Rep. Mark Foley - once described
as a "ticking time bomb" - but they broke no rules and should not be
punished, the House ethics committee concluded Friday."
So apparently the U.S. Congress has...

Is eBay best to auction an expensive book? by
David T. Bilek
I've used eBay successfully in the past for both buying and selling,
but only for things reaching the $300 range. I've never tried selling
an expensive item on eBay before. I'm going to auction a couple books
as a set that should go for considerably higher. $4000 would be a
minimum bid.
Is eBay...

Plagerism by
diane.walker
I have noticed that you get quite a lot of posts on the subject of plagerism
on this newsgroup. Ebay sellers like me seem to get the most stick for
stealing other peoples descriptions of books. Are not dealers on Addall and
Abe not commiting pagerism. They take the description from the jacket...

ABE Seller - Honest But Unprofessional? by
Shelf Space
I recently bought a rare book by the author Richard Marsh on ABE. I
ordered it via their system and paid by credit card. A day later the
seller emailed me to say that he now suspected that he had under-priced
it, so was planning to cancel the order and relist it for more money.
He then went on to...

Shenanigans with book titles, plagiarism, etc. by
Billy Bob
I think there were a few "scoundrels" in the book publishing business in
days past!
I have been working on adding to my book collection recently. I will do
quite a bit of research on a particular subject, and then will discover new
(to me) titles of books in the 1800's and early 1900's.
Then I...

Alternate WW2 history by

Hi,
With the D-Day memorials just finished, a group of us were talking
about the usual "what if..." topics, and I later looked at what I have
related to WW2 alternate history, which is nothing! Have done a very
quick and dirty run through Abebooks, to find not very much at all.
This is not to be a...

I just managed to pick up a first edition (1899) of Kipling's "Stalky & Co." at

Kipling used as a logo for himself a swastika like symbol, which sometimes faces
