I have a 1968 copyright version of Hermann Hesse's "Narcissus and Goldmund" printed by Farrar, Strous & Giroux, English translation by Ursule Molinaro. On the back flap of the dust jacket, at the bottom, it says, "Printed in the U.S.A. 1933." What should I make of that? Would it affect the value?

Does anyone have a list of books Arkham House put out as a book club edition? I have one that doesn't have a price on the front flap. It does have the First Edition slug. In the Stone House by Barry Malzberg Would the lack of price be the only indicator or is there some sort of Book Club...

I have a collection of thousands of books and some are really, really EVIL. For example the Necronimicon ex mortis. A very evil book. Several possessed bibles with demons trapped inside. EVIL stuff. Don't forget all the voodoo books, it's really dangerous to open them. But the most evil book I...

I have the first edition, not of the original publication of Victor Hugo's The Man Who Laughs but the one that was released in 1928 in conjunction with the Veidt film.

Is there a product that neutralizes the musty smell of some old books? I'm not thinking of books with visible mould, just the smell of it. We don't have time to interleave sheets of stuff. This is for books worth only a few pounds, which only merit a few minutes' working over. (If it takes an...

I'd like to know more concerning what is involved in becoming a licensed book appraiser. Is it generally accepted to pursue a license as an appraiser then specialize in books?

I picked a book up at a yard sale this summer and I'm trying to determine if it is a "First Edition". It is called "New York" by William Klein. I saw some on eBay that were printed in 1996 and I know this one is older because it still has the Brochure/Pamphlet/Booklet (whetever it is) inside. Is...

I've got what I believe may be the first edition of "Your United States" by Arnold Bennett. Harper and Brothers Publishers, New York and London, MCMXII . Unfortunately, when I bought it the book was missing its cover, and its spine had been half gnawed away by mice, so I had to re-bind it. I bound...
