Who uses bookplates, as a means of identifying their books? Do you use them ? Do you apply them to all your books, or just a few ? Where did you get them ? Buy them or make them ? Did you have them printed to your own design, or overprinted with your own name ? Plain or coloured ? Are they...

The first book I ever bought for myself ... one that wasn't a gift ... was something by Andre Norton. It was a paperback that I found on a small wire rack (one of those spinning, circular ones) at the local drug store. I can't remember how much of my babysitting money it took, but I was thrilled...

So often people of "substance" (the President, senators, etc.) are interviewed in front of walls of books. I don't know if they really own all of those books, or if it's just a set that's wheeled in behind them to give them, literally, an "educated background". Yesterday, President George W. Bush...

What is your favorite venue for finding books? I find service organization (Elks, Rotary, etc.) book fairs to be the best source. When I lived in Seattle I used to haunt the huge Goodwill there. I'm seeing fewer decent buys at yard sales & flea markets. -- Remove "Z" to reply via email.

I enjoyed reading the Bookman series & am about 2/3 through Two O'clock Eastern War Time. Good reads but the Bookman series is a bit tedious when Dunning shows off his book hunting expertise. What I cannot understand is a $2000+ price for a 1st/1st signed copy? Does anyone really think that these...

I have a copy of McSweeney's issue five. It is unlike the other versions of issue five I have heard of, in that the dust jacket is plain white on the front and on the back are smaller images of the man with face lesion and the severed arm. It says Issue no.5 very late summer, 2000. Then it lists...

Any Tom Wolfe collectors have the audio book of AMBUSH AT FORT BRAGG--the true first, nonperiodical publication of that novella--in their collections? It's one of the few I know that hasn't appeared in print in a separate publication (or at least until HOOKING UP). William M....

What exactly does the term "spine cracked" or "spine broken" mean? Intuitively, I use "spine cracked" for when a book opens so wide and lays so flat that I can see the mull or other spine backing material, which still holds things together. Usually this only happens in one or a few places in...

I hope this is on-topic enough to be appropriate. I am trying to figure out whether there are acceptable shelving options between the cheap throw-togethers at furniture stores and nice but costly custom-built units. I want moveable units, not built-in shelves, but I want them to be sturdy and...

Just curious... I collect "golf" books and at a local Savers I came across an "Advance Reading Copy" of a book, NOT FOR SALE. It's soft cover but has a Hardcover Publication Date shown. Not having seen anything like that before, I blew the $2.00 and brought it home. Is it anything worth hanging on...

The Austin Public Library had what is possibly it's last "Monster Book Sale," mainly because they're opening up a store to sell them off in the future. I though the sale was fairly humdrum...until I came across a NF (non-Ex-Lib) first of Neal Stephenson's The Big U, which will more than pay for...

It's been a long time since I've asked a question here, but the item I purchased today is interesting and puzzling: it's a bound volume of 15 numbers (plus advertising sections) of Olympic Games 1936 (Berlin & Garmisch) the official publication of thepublicity commission for the XI Olympic Games....
