FE points on R T Peterson's A Field Guide to the Birds by
bookkeeper
Greetings,
May I ask a question about this book? I have a copy, which I believe
is a FE, and perhaps, a first printing as well. (And just so we are
all Quite Clear, it is not for sale.)
Lurking about on the various book sites, I have determined that there
are various points which can identify...

Joseph Conrad's Children of the Sea by
Bob Streeter
I didn't expect to cause an outright flamewar over this question and
have been watching from the sidelines ever since. My original question
was "what edition do I have?" and I do stress that I have the book
here as I sit. It is dated on CP page only, 1897. In my original post,
as John pointed out,...

A Brag - Garp - 1st Edition by
Francis A. Miniter
This morning I went to one of those estate/tag sales run by someone who
is supposed to know value. This is the kind where you have to take a
number to get into the house, and stand around waiting for half an
hour. I was #101. Finally, I go in and look through what is left of
the books, and there...

Not, alas, in a way I care to remember. Yes, shortly after I was bitten by
the book-collecting bug I rummaged through all my old books and, yes, I
found that my old copy of Winnie the Pooh, given to me by my mother, was a
first edition...

I have a copy of Emily Post's The Title Market, Dodd Mead and Company 1909 with
the Soper illustrations. All the copies of this volume I see listed from a

Bindings outside the norm. by
PodocI81
I have had the good fortune of picking up several interesting books bound in
materials other than leather, cloth or paper.
Here is a near fine copy of Oriental Annual bound in leather. The boards,
however, appear to be lacquered wood with flowers and bird painted in oil...

New Collector by
Andrewstep1234
I am a new collector, grown from being an avid reader. Where is the best place
to start. My interests are varied but generally modern; Tom Clancy, Alexander
Kent, Terry Pratchett and Tim LaHaye for example. How do you determine what a
book is truly worth and how old it really is. What is the...

Keep on Bloggin' by
William M. Klimon
I've finally taken the plunge and started a blog (= weblog) about my
collecting and related thoughts at:
http://www.catholicbookcollector.com
I've found that it is a more time consuming enterprise than I had imagined,
so I'm not sure how long the experiment will last.
Your comments are welcome.

Modern Library: new collector by
BookEditions
I have decided to forget spending big bucks to collect many of the classics in
literature in favor of obtaining the lesser expensive volumes put out by the
Modern Library (books published 1917-1970). Since I want these books for
reading rather than investment, such a move makes sense.
Questions:

Collecting Baedekers by

I have recently started collecting Baedeker handbooks - a new passion
which started after stumbling across a number of the fantastic maps
found in Baedekers. I've managed to find a bibliography of English
Baedekers prior to WWII, however I can't seem to find any equivalent for
the more modern...

Missing or misaligned signatures by
mary
My wife is wondering if anyone collects books with missing signatures or
books that have incorrect or misplaced signatures. I was not sure if this is
subspecialty of book collecting. She is planning to give a talk about
signatures at a Toastmaster's Meeting, wanted some background.
Thanks
