A "literary scandals" collection? by
Jon Meyers
The recent stories about Kaavya Viswanathan's partially plagiarized, and
possibly ghost-written, novel, _How Opal Mehta Got Kissed, Got Wild and
Got a Life_ , coming so closely after the controversy surrounding James
Frey's _A Million Little Pieces_ , got me to wondering about the
possibilities for...

A Book Collector's Book Collecting Book by
Francis A. Miniter[_2_]
Acquired today, The Cambridge Bibliography of English
Literature (600 - 1900). While it does not provide the
level of detail that the Bibliography of American Literature
provides, (for instance, it notes four editions of Waverly
in Edinburgh in 1814, but fails to distinguish which is
which)...

When I was working in Buck-A-Book about ten years ago, there were a
few copies of a book I forgot to note for myself. The author claimed
that John Kennedy was Marcus Aurelius, Jackie Kennedy was Caesar's
wife, Calpurnia, and that Joe Kennedy was Julius Caesar. (It was also
claimed that John...

Does anybody know a book with a front cover picture of maybe a girl's
bedroom full of clothes all messed up, maybe a standing coat or umbrella
stand with a fur coat on it. I have been trying to remember the book name
recently and am having no luck. I don't remember much else about the book -

My trip to Hay on Wye was cancelled - weather looked awful! So instead, a
week later, I travelled from Dorset to Lynton in North Devon, via a good
deal of bookshops.

a bookseller's plot to make the public more intelligent? by
telicalbook
I was thinking the other day that it would be beneficial to the
bookselling
industry if the public was more intelligent. Ocassionally, conspiracy
theorists
worry about the "dumbing down" of the population for some nefarious
reason.
It seems that if many people are getting less capable of reading...

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...

A challenge: the next Classics by
BookEditions
For those of you who collect books, or just love fiction in general, I hope
this may start an interesting new thread for discussion:
Any book collector has a "what if" thought: what if I had been able to buy a

ago. Or...

A collection of two books by
Jon Meyers
Some time back, someone wondered whether or not a "collection", properly
speaking, could consist of as few as two books. To demonstrate that it
can, and that there is no niche so narrow that someone hasn't squeezed
into it, I offer the article, "An Analysis of America's Two Threshing
Novels,"...
