Book Storage Question by
George M
I have some books I want to store in an outside building which is
protected from the elements (e.g. rain, wind, dust, etc). They will be
in small sealed, cardboard boxes (12' x 12" x 12"). I am thinking of
also wrapping them in plastic stretch wrap (the stuff they use on
shipping pallets) thus...

Still regular by
Bob
Just a quick note to let you all know I'm still regular.
I've added fiber to my diet, so that may be helping.
I took a gigantic dump this morning, accompanied by much groaning and
farting.
The entire bowl was splattered with poop, so I called my wife to take a look
and, incidently, clean up the...

Making books your own by
Bill Palmer
It occurs to me that some of the disagreement which
arises in this newsgroup crops up because a number of
posters write from the standpoint of the dealer and/or
investor, rather than from the collector with a love of
books. While in many cases the resulting viewpoints
do not need to conflict at...

1954 Encyclopedia Britannica Value by
Betemer
Can anyone give me some information about the worth of my 1954
Encyclopedia Britannica 23 volume set? It's almost never been used,
and is in good shape. If you can give me any leads on how much it's
worth (or where I can get this information) it would be greatly
appreciated.

Minor Brag by
Francis A. Miniter
Yesterday I went into my local FOTL bookstore and found that they must have
received a donation recently from the household of a serious reader. And, it
seems, they missed the significance of at least one book.
I picked up a first printing of Alan Hollinghurst's 1988 novel "The Swimming
Pool...

Cleaning books? (No bleach, please!) by
Jim
I recently won an ebay auction for a nice copy of the Heritage Press
edition of Saint-Simon's MEMOIRS (1959). I'm very pleased with the
overall condition of the book, but when I examine it closely, I see
that the cloth on the spine has darkened compared with the covers
(which of course have been...

A Happy Find by
Francis A. Miniter
Two days ago, I went to a hearing in Waterbury, Connecticut,
and exited from the highway to the city by a different route
than usual. It led me past a bookstore that I had not known
about before - The John Bales Book Company. So much later
in the day, after the hearing was over, I went over...

Old Books by
Ken_Prospero
I am looking at acquiring a copy of Shakespeare's Third Folio.
The problem (as with most Folios) is imperfections. In this case, about 4%
of the leaves are facsimile, and about 6% come from another volume of the
Folio.
Most of the facsimile pages are in the prefatory material (and this...
