Default Library For Sale

The writer is an avid reader and book collector in Prince George, B.C.

As with all collectors, the time has come for me to thin down my
collection.

I collect modern first editions by favourite writers. It is my habit
to collect all of a writer’s books. When I have done so, I contact
the writer and ask that these books be signed. Thus all the complete,
or almost complete books of a writer are signed. While some books are
signed directly, the majority are signed by bookplates laid in and
envelopes and other supporting materials are retained.

At present, the following writers are amongst those that have been
collected and signed in the above manner:

Ken Follett
Jeffrey Archer
Colleen McCullough
P.D. James (incomplete)
John Sandford
Chris Bohjalian
J.T. LeRoy
Rosemary Aubert
Giles Blunt
C.J.Sansom
Elizabeth George
E.X.Giroux
Richard E. Johnson
John Dunning
Daniel Peters
Minette Walters
Richard Dooling
Nick Tosches
Peter Blauner
Thomas Harris (one signed)
Lewis Perdue
Nelson DeMille
William J. Coughlin (one signed)
Scott Turow

This is a partial list. In addition to the above signed writers in
complete runs, there are many other signed books – examples include
Patricia Cornwell, Jane Smiley, John Grisham and many others.


In addition to the signed books, there are hundreds of others. Most,
the vast majority, are in very good condition with dustjackets. A
complete listing is available upon request.

Would you be interested in adding this library to your stock? If so,
please advise and I shall forward to you a list of the contents of my
library for your consideration and offer.

Yours truly,
Willow Arune

1. For sale posts are frowned upon in this group nitwit, as you well know. I
don't gaf personally, but think of the migs.

2. PD James excepted, and just barely, you have appalling taste in writers.
I'd say literature, but this isn't that.

You mean, Ivana Kuttmykockov?

She wrote a book called "No Child Is Safe from the Bold Eunich"
