Collectible Books
Hi all,
This is my first post here, just want to say hello! I'm not a professional collector of books, but have kept tons of books over the years, some are collectible/valuable and I am somewhat at my wit's end as to where to list them or put them out there. I've looked at lots of book forums and most don't seem very active or get minimal responses. Anyway, just putting the info out there for anyone interested. You can reach me via PM or at the seller's link at blujay. Here's the link plus a general list of things i have in my collection. I would like to sell so make me an offer or point me in the right direction! Thanks! Bluejay Link: http://www.blujay.com/?page=profile&...me=vintagerama Here's a longer list of more titles i have, thanks for looking! I'm open to offers. 1. Title: Annie Allen Author: Gwendolyn Brooks Publisher: Harpers & Brothers copyright 1945, 1949 This book indicates that it is a First Edition Condition: Very good, small black hardback of poetry by Pulitzer Prize winning author, the pages are clean, unmarked, binding seems tight. No dust jacket. 2. Title: DeWitt's Forget Me Not Songster, 250 Sentimental Songs Publisher: New York: Robert M. DeWitt, Publisher Date of publication - appears to be 1872 Condition: This is a small hardback that for its age seems to be in very good condition. The binding is holding well, owner's names on inside cover. No dust jacket. 3. Title: The Awdrey-Gore Legacy Author: Edward Gorey Publisher: Dodd, Mead and Company Third Printing Hardback, copyright 1973 Condition: Book jacket shows some wear.

Pages of the book itself are in very good condition, look almost unused/unread. Bottom edges of book appear somewhat worn. 9.

The artwork is charming, colors stll vibrant, no markings or other scribbles anywhere on the individual pages which are lovely and readable. . No torn pages. Some detachment away at the top abd bottom portion of the binding but seems to be holding otherwise. 10.
