Cutting uncut pages - should I - shouldn't I by
Mark Usher
Hello all,
I was wondering what the general consensus of opinion is regarding uncut
pages. I recently acquired a book where all the pages are at the top, uncut.
This makes the book unusable, and I would like to use it. Should I cut the
uncut pages or should I try and acquire another copy. If I cut...

Who did a better job...? by
Jbrodie1750
I often hear complaints about the prevalence of amateur book sellers on ABE
who don't know how to grade books accurately. But I often come across
established shops on ABE who grade books in an equally amateurish way. Take,
for example, this description from an established shop that sells all...

About two weeks ago, I saw the movie "Touching the Void". This is
based on Joe Simpson's book of the same name published in 1988. I
checked eBay and ABE for copies of the book for sale, and purchased
one thru eBay for $36. At the time, there were several for sale on
ABE. Since then, most of thos on...

Hardy Boys in Japan by
John Yamamoto-Wilson
The impact of F.W. Dixon in Japan is probably little-known in the West, even
to Hardy Boys fans. And yet there were several Hardy Boys books translated
into Japanese, all now out of print, though anyone wanting to chase them up
by ISBN might be able to do so (the relevant ISBNs are...

"We cannot disassemble a book in any way..." by
John Yamamoto-Wilson
We had a lot of discussion on rcb about dust jackets a few months ago. A
lot of people - especially Americans - insisted that, as long as it was the
same issue as the book, it really was an academic point whether a particular
dust jacket originally belonged to a particular book, i.e., it was fine...

behavior I am talking about are dealers, not
simply amateurs trying to...

Vanity bindings? Special order, or what? by
Rodins Balzac
I have several sets of books bound in leather with the original owner's name
stamped in gilt in the ruling of the spine at the bottom.
Was this done "aftermarket" or was it likely an option when ordering a set of
books from the publisher.

author, where do I look?

Almost a brag by
Dave
Just was out looking at the weekend yard sales and came across what I
thought was a "find", or possibly a "FIND". In a box with some
paperback books, comics and a few hardcovers were a pile of
mimeographed and stapled pages. The mimeo pages matched one of the
books in the box, an odd mix of...
