Mmmm Interesting and informative.
Please be aware that this is an American book and the author likes to take
any opportunity to patronize the English.Example talking about the advances in printing in the 2nd/3rd century China and Japan while in Britain we were still in mud huts and painting ourselves blue for battle...I think the author misses the point that we share the same ancestors.Big chip and shoulder spring to mind.....
The book itself....very good,but please be aware of the above.
Fantastic for beginners! I've been collecting modern first editions for quite sometimes but have just now started to learn what I'm doing! This book has been amazingly helpful and I highly recommend it.
Thinking about becoming a booktrader? Buy this! The ABC's of becoming a traditional booktrader. Booktrading on the internet is barely given a mention but traditional identification, publishing, grading, scouting, and selling are covered. If possible, it makes being a booklover even more fun.
Scouting for used and rare books Not 'Turn Books Into Gold', but at least it's in print. Not as much about used bookstore operations, but about nomadically scouting them, trading books from interest to interest as they are displayed by used books establishments and customers.
A book scout manual, also pre internet, but many things apply. It deals with exploiting the interests, both strengths and weaknesses, of established booksellers, and spotting and capitalizing on their likes and dislikes, as a nomadic used book scout and trend... more info
