"Book and Magazine Collector" by
Peter Guy
Hi,
I am wanting to dispose of a full run of "Book and Magazine Collector"
magazine from issue 1 to 200. They are in good condition except for marks
in the advertising part where I have indicated items of interest.
In view of the weight I think I would expect the person getting them to

"Book Sales" remainder catalog - how to find? by
Sophie Borodin
Hello,
In the very helpful article Jessica Amanda Salmonson wrote, "Where Do
Booksellers Find All Those Books?"
(http://www.violetbooks.com/where-oh-where.html), she mentions "the
generically named "Book Sales" catalog. I did a Yahoo search to try
and find it, but such a generically named place...

"Booking in the Heartland" by
Art Layton
Before leaving on vacation, I went to the shelf in my local library
that has books about book-collecting. I picked up a copy of "Booking
in the Heartland" by Jack Matthews. I have been rewarded by reading
about Mr. Matthew's particular specialty in collecting and how he
values books. I guess I knew...

"Crossroad Blues" points? by

This is probably a Jon Meyers question (and the type question this group
was originally formed to answer but that's a discussion for a different
day)...
In the Bookfinder listings for this book, three points are mentioned for
a first state dust jacket. One is pretty simple as there is a blurb...

"Da Vinci Code" -- BCE or not? by
visualweasel
Hi everyone. I have a copy of Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code". The
copyright page states FIRST EDITION, APRIL 2003, and has the full
numberline, just like the true first printing should. It also has both
well-known first printing mistakes ("skitoma" and "Lyon"). But here's the
weird part. The book...

I recently purchased a first edition of Bradbury's _The Martian Chronicles_.
It's an "ex-lib" copy, since the front free endpaper is stamped: "Editorial
library copy do not remove from office must be returned to library." But, since
it's a first edition, first binding state with vg dj, I was happy...

"Flyboys" by James Bradley by
Art Layton
I just finished reading Mr. Bradley's latest book, "Flyboys", about
the use of air power against the Japaneses in WWII. I expect this book
will become a classic. However, it is likely there will be some
negative feedback because of the discussion of American atrocities
during the Pacific war.

"Happy Find" at a FOTL sale by
ann greenfield
Last Sunday I had a marvelous time at a local FOTL sale. Since brags
don't seem to go over very well any more, I'll call this a "happy find".
I had picked out more than 30 mysteries (all firsts, to either keep or
give to friends) when I spotted what I thought to be a pretty good SF
title...Orson...

"misuse" of priority box - what's The Law? by
Scot Kamins
Folks,
From time to time (as in another current thread) the issue of using
Priority Mail boxes for media mail purposes comes up for discussion. The
question is whether using these boxes for other-than priority mail is
against the law.
There MUST be lawyers who read this newsgroup.
