Bookplates by
Andy Dingley
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...

My first book by
my-wings
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...

Watching celebs by
my-wings
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...

book hunting 101 by
Robert Harmon
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.

What's with the high prices for John Dunning books? by
Robert Harmon
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...

Question about McSweeney's issue 5 by
Marc
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...

Tom Wolfe collectors? by
William M. Klimon
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).

Question on terminology: spine cracked/broken by
my-wings
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...

High quality shelves - recommendations? by
Todd T
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...

Advance Reading Copy! by
Loudon Briggs
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...

APL Finds by

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...
