Had this kicking around for 20+ years now. Was a gift that was never given. Is it worth holding onto? The edge is gold leaf or something and has a silk book mark attached. Not a lot to compare it to on ebay.
Anything with Dragons/dragon riders. Plus some other fantasy with some childhood nostalgia. Never read any of the wheel of time books, so here we go!
I bought a Romanian edition of Thomas Harris’ Hannibal (ISBN 978-606-43-2114-5), and I discovered that pages 65–80 are completely blank. The pages before and after this section are printed normally.
Has anyone encountered this kind of printing error before? Is this something collectors might be interested in?
I’m also curious whether this could be a known printing error affecting a specific batch of this edition.
Seamus Heaney. Beowulf. 1999. 1st. Signed & inscribed by Heaney dated 6-X-'99. Mint in pictorial dust jacket.
Sadly a dear friend passed recently, but she left me a nice little book collection. I’m not to familiar with the intricacies- but one of the books is signed. Would this be worth getting appraised?
I’ve wanted to read The Road for a while, but somehow never got around to it. I was browsing Goodwill today and found this hardcover.
After checking it out, it turns out to be a 2006 Knopf first edition, first printing with the original first-state dust jacket: $24 on the front flap and 10/2006 on the rear flap. The book itself is incredibly tight and appears unread, with bone-white pages and no creasing.
I’m honestly more excited that I finally have the book I wanted to read, but finding a first/first for $4 was a pretty damn good surprise. Lol. And yes, I’m absolutely going to read it. I just need to get over the sudden urge to put it in a glass case.
The Lord of the rings, and the tales of mystery and imagination (this one was rough when I got it) were passed down from my folks.
I collect paranormal books. My wife collect books from the late 19th century.
Some of my prized books is a signed Gray Barker, a signed Charles Fort or a signed John Keel book.
Magritte cover The Problems Of Philosophy I just got... Wasn't expecting this shape but I am still happy. Anyone knows how to get rid of the writing and a sticker?

Beautiful cover.
Nice bookhaul was happy to add to my Stephen king collection also
And ended up with a few books that’ll fit with the rest of my shelves
I have always loved this book
The Longfellow (c 1890s) was $6, everything else was $4 or less. I have Foundation in the same edition so happy to find Foundation and Empire.
Thought I'd share my Bradbury autographed book! When I saw it, I couldn't believe my eyes. It's a great read so far and a welcomed addition to my collection :)
If there are other ways or more than one. Do share it in the comments.
Found this at a swap meet for $2. Is it worth keeping in a case or something to protect it? The typos from the first edition are corrected
I wanna get into Plato's philosophy and I found this really cool listing at my favourite bookstore. I know i can probably find everything made by plato for free online but this looks really cool as a collector item. Only problem is it's 31 dollars for 736 pages.
FB Marketplace strikes again. Got a great deal on these this weekend. Love the design of the Trilogy and artwork in The Hobbit.
