There was an article somewhere not too long ago about a bookseller in Saltaire who gave figures of his sales on some sort of social website and that prompted people to go to the shop and, temporarily at least, boosted his sales.  The problem seems to be general lack of interest in reading, and for those that do read, eReaders are providing an alternative.  There is a website called webuybooks (is it alright to mention that here?) that might be worth looking at if you're not a dealer.  If you sell on eBay at 99p, by the time the fees are deducted, I don't think there'll be that much of a difference in price got, and it's a more straighforward transaction.  Having said that, they don't accept all books.  I haven't used it myself, so I can't comment on if it's any good.

Webuybooks is a good website if you just want to offload some books to clear space and your not too worried about how much money your going to make and if that's your aim then its certainly a lot less hassle than Ebay.

But they are a business so they only offer money for books which they can resell and these are generally the books you can sell yourself on Ebay and Amazon and make a better profit on.

They don't accept the majority of books, so the books your trying to sell on Ebay for 99p are unlikely to be accepted by them and they offer pennies on most books. The only books which tend to go into pounds are relatively recent student textbooks and academic books, again you could get more profit selling these on Amazon but if you just want to offload and generate some cash in the process, its a good no hassle site.

My Mum uses them at the local charity shop she works for and it brings in very good money for them on the books they would otherwise be unable to shift in a small village shop. The process is straightforward you package the books, take them to the local Collectplus store (or they will collect depending on weight and volume) and a cheque turns up 7/10 days later or they can transfer the money straight to your bank account which is a bit quicker.

I read it as a teenager (sadly almost 25 years ago) and remember enjoying it, although I can't remember much beyond the basic plot now.

It's not as good as some of Stephen King's others from the same period like The Shining, Salem's Lot, The Stand or It, its still good in my opinion.

Hello Diebe,

Unfortunately, I don't think any of the posters who could have answered your question are still visiting the Books Board.  You will see that the post previous to yours was well over a year ago.  This thread had withered!

It would be well worth trying the very active Booksellers Board at eBay dot com.

Sorry, Karem, I quoted your Username rather than your proper name.

Some of us still surface occassionally.

This certainly seems to be a bit of a rarity and not a book for Ebay. I'd be looking for a proper auction house to do a valuation.

Hi Jeff, thenks for responding here.  Do you suppose Karem will ever return to acknowledge our answers?

Hi Mrs Bee (and others)

Thank you all for your answers.. although it didn't help much 🙂

I thought: since the tread is dead, I don't bother answering 😉

I googled the first line of Dell's House, and this post came up. I only remember the poem this far too. I would've been reading it around 1965 ish. If I can't get hold of a copy, I would love photos of each page, to bring back those memories. 

Did you find out about the book? JB (John Brahms) Trinick was an Australian soldier in WW1. If you still have, and would like it to find a suitable home perhaps offer to the Australian National Veterans Arts Museum. www.anvam.org.au
