Pet Peeves? by William M. Klimon
Mine is folks trying to pass off nonfirsts as first editions of Thomas Merton's SEVEN STOREY MOUNTAIN, one of the key books in my collection. One problem is that there was a Taiwanese pirate edition in the 1960s that looks much like the first edition in the first state binding (see below). The...

What's the most you've ever paid for a book? by [email protected]
At Armadillocon, I was on a panel about book collecting with Scott Cupp and Bill Crider. Scott mentioned a few books that he bought when they first came out that he couldn't buy now because "there are commas in the price." Personally, I've never bought a book with commas in the price. (There are a...

Why the insane prices for this book? by Chris_K
ISBN 0061011703 - Postcards from France Is this book really worth $200+ ? I can't seem to find it anywhere online for less than that. In other words, is this a genuine rare book or just a handful of sellers listing it for high prices and waiting for someone to bite?

Ebay Signatures by Denton Taylor
Hey all: So what do you think about these auctions, all for signed books? http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZmicongwQQhtZ-1 The photos suck. And the signatures all seem to be with the same pen. Even Eudora Welty, from 1956, seems to be signed with a sharpie. Did they exist back then?
