Have a look! Comments jenny_girl56 - Sep 5, 2009, 12:48 PM very helpful, and thanks for posting such things, as for me I am not always so smart when it comes to book collecting!!!!! Thanks very much, Jan johnftwa48in - Sep 6, 2009, 9:48 AM Jan, once you get the hang of it book collecting can be more fum than you can imagine. It can also be expensive. NEVER let a book dealer know that you just HAVE to have that certain book or the price will go way up. Stick with 2nd hand stores and flea markets until you feel comfortable. I just bought a copy of "Pearl S. Bucks Story Bible" on Amazon.com for $2. It is rare and hard to find. I won the seller lost. jenny_girl56 - Sep 6, 2009, 5:45 PM cool, you are right, its fun for sure to find books and to look at books!!!!!!! johnftwa48in - Sep 6, 2009, 6:48 PM Jan,
I did some serching for you and found a site that helps you to identify first editions. Not all editions are listed but there are a great many of the classics. www.fedpo.com/BookGuide.php/Classics Sign in to post a comment! Recent Posts
