Let's see about October, starting with some oldies.<br />
<ul>
<li>Alcott, Louisa M. ROSE IN BLOOM, Roberts Brothers, 1891 (date on title page), (©1876; sequel to Eight Cousins), frontis with tissue-facing intact, decorative cloth, hinge starting, fr-g (not too bad) no dj $15</li>
<li>Bower, B.M. THE LURE OF THE DIM TRAILS, G.W. Dillingham, issued 10/1907, (C.M. Russell color illus), frontis has tissue-facing, previous owner's name with 1907 date (and place), fr-g (pictorial cloth) no dj $20</li>
<li>Fitzgerald, F. Scott FLAPPERS AND PHILOSOPHERS, Scribner's, 2nd(9/20), (same month as first printing; author's first short story collection), front free endpaper is cut out, browned pages, fr-g but a pretty solid copy, no dj $100</li>
<li>Fitzgerald, F. Scott THIS SIDE OF PARADISE, Scribner's, 3rd(4/20), (same month as first printing; author's first novel), hinge starting, some pages not well cut, not a bad copy, fr-g no dj $150</li>
<li>Mitchell, Margaret GONE WITH THE WIND, Macmillan, 14th(9/36), (three months after 6/36 first edition; 1037 pages), at least one page is loose, generally worn, fr-g (decent copy) no dj $20</li>
</ul>
These five books were pretty difficult to describe and price. Being old there's the temptation to say they are in great condition for being so old. Some sellers go with "average condition for a used book," and that might apply. But they aren't <i>too</i> shabby—especially for being so old!<br />
They aren't first editions but they are in the vicinity. On the shelf, looking at the spine, it would be hard to tell the difference.<br />

---I'd been holding off on the Paperback Parades thinking they'd be a big hassle to catalog. It's actually been fun, unless I'm trying to get them all done at once. Meanwhile listening to <a href="https://play.google.com/music/playlist/AMaBXylWx2IzosFCFDMtDUNfIo-zYi1EsIQplt_ndTpoc9tUGgTYXUoinqYcmzm33f7qxBcRBoNR04UKduOUmawJo2oVnIaU9Q==" target="_blank">music streaming</a> makes it okay too.CHRIS DRUMMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01474475732586743422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5082772.post-86163455216776457032014-06-29T09:00:00.000-05:002014-06-29T09:43:37.114-05:00June 2014 ListingsMy wife is getting us new furniture so I have to clear books away from where I had them, ready for cataloguing I never seemed to get around to performing.

So I hauled the whole bunch upstairs to the daylight room, mostly from the Moo-Mun area of the alphabet—hardcovers and larger trade pbs. A plus is that these are most all already but inadequately catalogued on biblio—so I can update those listings and maybe retain some of the more descriptive descriptions, as well as add photos. They are all now in a <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cdrummbks/sets/72157641128286725/" target="_blank">set of their own in flickr</a>. Below will be the updated cataloguing, this time in alphabetical order by author instead of as they are performed—a few prices higher; mostly lower. But I won't wait until all is complete to publish here. As listings are added I will perform an update to this post, as I've been doing with the boxes. The <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cdrummbks/sets/72157641128286725/" target="_blank">flickr set</a> is sorted alphabetically by title, since the author isn't given in the title of the photo. As usual, when I have more than one copy, I photo the front and back togethe<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">r.

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">---I'm noticing that these 20-year-old listenings don't often need a big change in the pricing—as often as the book seems to command a higher price, just as often it could be had for rock bottom prices. Which isn't to say that the book is worthless, but there just isn't the demand to contend with the supply. With specialty/small press items, however, sometimes the asking prices (if there are any to compare) may seem to have appreciated somewhat.</span></span>CHRIS DRUMMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01474475732586743422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5082772.post-39406207321949198272014-04-15T08:05:00.000-05:002014-04-15T08:05:43.372-05:00It's nice that people are still interested in my now-going-on thirty-year-old R.A. Lafferty publications. I've just had to email a list of what I still have available (in various stages of readiness to actually send). I had an order for MAN WHO MADE MODELS recently (through Amazon)—I hope they didn't think they were getting the recent Centipede Press collection with the same title. Anyway, here's the list, in one handy place:<br />
