Heinemann first editions in the early '50s by Kevin
Can anyone tell me what if anything the English publisher Heinemann did to books to indicate first edition first printings. Does "First printed 1951" mean that this book is in fact a first edition first printing? Thanks for any help in this matter. Kevin

Preferences in "books on books" by my-wings
I'm about halfway through reading the book *A Gentle Madness.* So far, it's not as engaging as I had hoped it would be. I think I prefer more anecdotal narratives, heavy on the thrill of the chase, ripe with details of serendipitous discoveries, and filled with minutia about the books themselves....

question about cleaning books with alcohol by bookkeeper
Hello, I've been ferreting about looking for ways to handle cleaning up cloth-bound books that have some minor mildew. These are not books for resale, but books that have recently come into my care. What mildew there is is very minor (on a scale of 1-10 it's about a 0.5). To the best of my...

The Sun Also Rises? by bc
Recently saw at auction a Grosset & Dunlap reprint of Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises--Near Fine/Near Fine. Oddly Hemingway was misspelled on the spine--spelled "Hemmingway." Two m's. There is no number line. The only copyright date is Scribner's 1926. No price on the DJ--not price clipped--just no...

Never again possible.... by my-wings
More musings on *A Gentle Madness*: I don't know how many times (so far) I've read in this book that some magnificent collection was a product of its times, and never again would it be possible to assemble such a thing. Frequently, this is because the collector chose a field where the items were...
