Just got back from the rat exhibition near Port Orchard, Washington. Very few people attending, mainly it was a fun party for the exhibitors, but if they'd hoped the public would come, I don't think the public even knew about it. Some very cute ratties of course; all looked healthy; a very...

I am trying to find out when the last time(s) a copy of the original privately published first printing of the Elements of Style was offered for sale, and what price it may have fetched. OCLC lists only 5; in addition, Cornell has one copy, as does U. Tennessee at Knoxville, but that's all I've...

I've been away on vacation for a couple of weeks and upon my return I've noticed some trepidation about bragging. Isn't that what we're here for (at least in part)?!?! I spent my vacation in Portland, Oregon, which should have meant lots of booking. But my time was taken up with fishing...

Hello, I have never posted here before. I need some assistance and I thought perhaps some well versed person here could help me. About two years ago there was a beautiful red book on Japanese culture, interior or fashion. It was written by a woman. The name was something like Tan, Tao, Tai. I...

I bought five books in the last few weeks from alibris, and four of them had to be sent back. One of them was not at all as described, which is a separate problem, but the others were unacceptable on arrival because they had not been packed properly. Two large books were dropped into the cheapest...

I recently stumbled over a listing on eBay for The Tower by W. B. Yeats. This is considered one of Yeats' best collections of poetry and the book is pretty scarce in good condition. It is also one of the Modern Movement books I collect. But the listing did not specifically refer to a first...
