Primo Levi, If This Is A Man by
Francis A. Miniter[_2_]
Orion Press, New York, 1959, first printing in English; vg in vg- dust
jacket (one small tear). About a week ago, I bought this book at a used

Salisbury's Library Book Sale by

towns do,...

Library sale by
J[_2_]
Yesterday I went to the Library sale in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn. I'd
gone to this event a few years ago, and not done especially well, but
I thought I'd give it another try. This time I came away with a 25-
cent paperback that I was anxious to read, and four excellent
condition hardcovers (all...

graphical genre codes by
Jack Campin
What do you call those collections of icons you get on the back covers
of some mass market books to inform the (illiterate) purchaser what kind
of book it is?
What is the intended point of them?

Art Laurent
Back in 1999 when he was recording 'Ticket Out Of Dizneyland', Billie

British Book Centre by
J[_2_]
Do any other New Yorkers remember this shop, which was--back in the

When I first encountered them, they were on or near Lexington Avenue,

side, but I guess it's...
