Advice sought by a rank beginner
Hello,
Certainly not a brag, but I have about 500 books adorning my walls, and some are quite old. Would someone suggest a "beginners" book on book collecting or a good website to me please? I do fancy Jack Higgins, Robert Ludlum, and if pressed for the whole truth, Ian Flemming. Ken Follet and Clive Cussler are of interest as well. Thanks for any advice or help. Dave |

...I don't mind a bit of bruising. You also don't mind having your willy lopped off, so I'd say your advice is a bit suspect. |

Oh for f*ck's sake. _Must_ you bring totally irrelevant inflammatory crap into a perfectly on-topic thread about book collecting? I enjoy Willow's posts; your inability to cope with her gender is decidedly not to the point. As far as book collecting goes, my advice to the original poster is to start looking up a few of his books in used.addall.com (as has often been recommended here) and compare those on the lower price end with the same titles as they appear, and sell, on eBay. Over the past few years I've gotten a very good idea of what the books I collect are worth this way, and I've also found quite a number of books I wanted, but didn't know about. I've also gotten quite a few bargains on eBay, despite having to pay for shipping. (Try finding a particular medical text from 1847 in your local used book store.... just doesn't happen much.) I collect old (100 years) medical books, plus ~200 year old books published locally, and a few other things. But the method should work for just about any collection, I think (comments?) -Allison -- .. |

Where are your complaints about Willow's continuous off-topic posts about his sexual mutilation? I enjoy Willow's posts; You are easily amused, aren't you! your inability to cope with her gender is decidedly not to the point. Cutting off one's willy, getting silicone titties and being pumped full of estrogen does not a she make. Willow's just a sad man with severe mental problems. |

But was instead followed onto this NewsGroup by stalkers, who did. ....

Even if that were true, it in no way affects a person's right to contribute posts on book related topics to this NewsGroup without fear of being intimidated and harassed by stalkers. Or their lickspittle apologists like yourself. The fact that both yourself and Fundoc have little else to contribute to this NewsGroup except feed off the efforts of stalkers, says rather more about the two of you gutless low-life slugs, than it does about the person you're so unsuccesfully seeking to denigrate. As if anyone needed reminding, of course. michael adams .... |

Must be embarassing while you're having sex. Or at least it would be, if there were anyone else there. I just call out your name And I know wherever you are You'll come running So to recap: by writing posts about me in usenet, you can get me to repond to your posts about me in usenet. Kind of like Svengali, only with a muttonhead. Within ten minutes Winter, spring, summer or fall All I have to do is call And you'll be there Just like the sap you are. "Oh, ye're Henglish, har yer? Why don't yer sing as yer ought to sing - yer've got voice enough, any'ow! Why don't yer sing in tune?" "I didn't want to sing at all - I only sang because I was asked to sing - that gentleman asked - that French gentleman with the white waistcoat! I won't sing another note!" |

That is clear from your overwhelming obsession. In other posts you admit to being threatened by her status. I suggest your obsession/fear of castration has deeper roots than we can deal with in this newsgroup. Please take those concerns to a qualified psychiatrist and reserve your comments here for matters relating to books. Francis A. Miniter |
