Sites for listing books by
Pat O'Brien
I have listed books on ABE for more than 6 years and over the past year have
seen sales diminish radically. In addition, they have continued to drop
programs that, previously, have worked well for us.
Can any other bookseller recommend some safe, ethical sites where I can list

uncut pages? by
Morpheus
I am fairly new to the book scene and I just wanted to ask about uncut pages
on a very old book, i.e., the title page is joined to the next page. Do I
just leave it as is even though I am having trouble reading the copyright
information or do I try separating the pages?

"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...

Looking for information on this book by
SPF
I picked a book up at a yard sale this summer and I'm trying to determine if
it is a "First Edition". It is called "New York" by William Klein. I saw
some on eBay that were printed in 1996 and I know this one is older because
it still has the Brochure/Pamphlet/Booklet (whetever it is) inside. Is...

Seasought
I'd like to know more concerning what is involved in becoming a
licensed book appraiser. Is it generally accepted to pursue a license
as an appraiser then specialize in books? I realize this isn't
specifically along the 'collecting lines' but I do collect books and
would welcome advice here prior...

deodorizing mould smell by
Jack Campin - bogus address
Is there a product that neutralizes the musty smell of some old books?
I'm not thinking of books with visible mould, just the smell of it.
We don't have time to interleave sheets of stuff. This is for books
worth only a few pounds, which only merit a few minutes' working over.
(If it takes an...

1st edition, Man Who Laughs 'photoplay' 1928 by
[email protected]
I have the first edition, not of the original publication of Victor
Hugo's The Man Who Laughs but the one that was released in 1928 in
conjunction with the Veidt film.
It's in good shape, except the very front page has been torn out,
leaving a 'stub' about a quarter inch wide. (I presume this was...

What is the most EVIL book you ever had??? by
Gerry Lintonice
I have a collection of thousands of books and some are really, really
EVIL. For example the Necronimicon ex mortis. A very evil book. Several
possessed bibles with demons trapped inside. EVIL stuff. Don't forget
all the voodoo books, it's really dangerous to open them.
But the most evil book I...

Arkham House Book Club by
Scrooge
Does anyone have a list of books Arkham House put out as a book club
edition?
I have one that doesn't have a price on the front flap. It does have the
First Edition slug.
In the Stone House by Barry Malzberg
Would the lack of price be the only indicator or is there some sort of Book
Club...

Error in dust jacket? by
Paul
I have a 1968 copyright version of Hermann Hesse's "Narcissus and
Goldmund" printed by Farrar, Strous & Giroux, English translation by
Ursule Molinaro. On the back flap of the dust jacket, at the bottom, it
says, "Printed in the U.S.A. 1933." What should I make of that? Would
it affect the value?
