DO YOU HAVE A BOOK QUESTION?

Hi all, pippy_oak here, posting under my brand new user name. Hopefully, Richard will pin this thread, as it seems a nice tidy place to pose specific questions about a book (Is it a 1st edition, what's it worth, where to find it etc. etc.) Don't just come here with a question. If you think you have the answer, then let's hear it.

Or we could just mooch around and learn a few things.



Cheers



Paul

Well, if you have any Guy Boothby stuff, I'd throw it in there now.

J.G. Ballard?

Need a few clues.

DO YOU HAVE A BOOK QUESTION?

Steve's other bidder likes Michael Moorcock.

My original question was just to satisfy my curiosity.

I was looking at copies of Mullion by Mabel Esther Allan, and used the first of the pricing links on the other thread. The top 5 entries appear to be the same book, ... do you think they are? The second link found just three copies.

Out of curiosity, I was looking for copies of Mullion by Mabel Esther Allan, and used the first of the pricing links above.

Hi there

8 9/9 0/0 01 02

They are all hard backs, never read and in great condition.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Here's a start.

ebay is such an active market for Harry Potter books, that completed auction searches will give you a fairly accurate valuation.

Search on ebay.com for the US editions, which are worth less than UK editions.

Not still the 'chipping' question?

If you mean the M.E. Allan book, there are three different ones on ABE. I think your 'chipped spine' one is among them.

Hi Sig, can you let me have the link for ABE..I got very baffled on Addall (is it called) and I thought the bboks seemed to have multiple listings, either that or Dick Francis signed a lot of books to Malcolm's mother :^O
Message 154 of 1,680

DO YOU HAVE A BOOK QUESTION?

NO! I looked up chipping. On Addall there were 7 books listed and the first five seemed to be the same book. I wondered if you agreed and could explain how one book could have five entries.
