Do you know the term for the little metal things that hold up adjustable bookshelves? I'd like to try to buy some online, but I am having tremendous difficulty finding any. I put a bookcase in storage for a few years, and now that I have taken it out of storage, I can't find the little metal...

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...

There's a mystery series I like, by an author named R.D. Wingfield. Jack Frost is a detective inspector in Denton, England in just half a dozen novels which never saw hardcover publication in the U.S. I have been assembling these over time, and just need two more to complete the series. Checking...

Of all the areas of book-collecting one can engage in here in Japan (and, by the way, here is a useful website someone put together that gives some idea of the variety possible: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/4824/jp-hama.htm), buying manga has to be the most hit-and-miss. This is because most...

At the California Antiquarian Book Fair, I saw a copy of Adam's Rib by Graves. The publisher is Trianon Press in a signed limited edition of 250. I liked it. I resisted then. When I looked it up, there appears to be an American Edition by Thomas Yoseloff limited to 100. Can anyone tell me...

I would like advice about the Sotheby's catalog, "The Estate of Jaqueline Kennedy Onassis -- April 23-26, 1996." Was this published in softcover and hardcover. Was there more than one edition. Does anyone have a copy for sale.

Hi! I have a set of 6 volumes Works of Charles Dickens. I want to find out how rare they may be. Any advice on what to look for or how to reasearch would be great. This set is bound in what appears to be leather, with raised decorations (looks like little clusters of grapes on vines) and ornate...

I have 7 softcover books that get extensive daily use and I want to make them into hardcover books. I purchased library quality plastic covers but now want to stiffen the front and back covers before wrapping the books. Is there various types of cardboard, stiff and thin that is recommended. The...

Hello - I'm looking to purchase a nice edition of War and Peace. These are the things I am looking for, in order of importance: 1) Multiple volumes - this book is too large to be in a single volume! 2) Ideally a Constance Garnett translation 3) Unabridged 4) Nice hardcover binding, paper, layout,...

Hello, Certainly not a brag, but I have about 500 books adorning my walls, and some are quite old. Would someone suggest a "beginners" book on book collecting or a good website to me please? I do fancy Jack Higgins, Robert Ludlum, and if pressed for the whole truth, Ian Flemming. Ken Follet and...

In the old days, when men were allowed to have many wives, a middle-aged Man had one wife that was old and one that was young; each loved him very much, and desired to see him like herself. Now the Man began to dress up for going to the market with the young Wife, when she did not like his wrinkles...

I am considering buying a 1st edition book. The book and jacket are described as being in near fine condition. The description also says "agent's copy with stamp and bookplate." Being somewhat of a novice collector, do I take this to mean the author's agent? Does this add or detract from it's...

Hi collectors: I've come across a nice copy of an 1869 edition of "Agricultural Qualitative and Quantitative Chemical Analysis," edited by G. C. Caldwell. In all the listing sites, I find reference only to a print-on-demand copy of this book. Seems odd, because I look up lots of books, some quite...

I think many of us may have been duped by Mark Gordon aka Alamo City Comics. Although I can well believe that he did originally contact Isomedia to validate the John Pelan issue, because the two of them have locked horns frequently before, everything else he has said and done is pretty obviously...
