Any book sleuths know where to find the solution to this puzzle? I've found several interesting sites through google, but none of them have the answer. Entires were to be mailed in by April 15, 1984. I think the $10,000 prize was won and split by 8 armchair detectives from Colorado. These prize...

I realize my chosen genre is not a really hot ticket, so getting a real bargain is not as remarkable as it could be. But I just have to brag about my latest ebay aquisition. You'd think, ebay being as big as it is, that there wouldn't be any good deals. Surely (unless an item is really badly...

How do you as collectors and book sellers watch and predict book trends?

And, BookThink, being...
