Hard back for sure. I remove the dust jacket and put on a tight, brown paper cover until I finish reading it, This goves me a place to write notes, too.Then I replace the jacket. With paperbacks , I have to break it back in order to read near the binding; now it is not an"excellent" collectable...

Book Barn Funes, gee! I don't remember seeing any quantity of paperbacks. I don't remember any quantity of 'reading copies'. My impression is that they are a cut higher. ---Walter---

Funes, precisely. Reading on to see the reaction of absolute fear confirms what you say. ---Walter---

book marks-notes Third man girl, Thank you for your comments. As I read, many thoughts come to me stimulated by what the author is projecting; special concepts, my contrary opinions, special word usage, or parts that I wish to reconsider. I liked to come away from a book with more than just a...

Susie, you did just fine. Before sticky post-its, we folded a pocket into the bookmark and placed it over a corner of a page but they could fall off.---Walter---

Crusoe- single foot print Josh, right -on. It doesn't need a sledge hammer approach; just a tap in the right place.---Walter---

To all, I did a search but only found one additional "Book Barn" it is: "bookbarn.co.uk". They claim 1 million books but I was unable to do a subject search; could be my fault.

Third man girl, how do you control all of the note pad slips or is it a bound unit? I leave the bookmark with the book, if I own the book. I then make entries into a subject index.

Forty six, I read 'Beyond Zero Sum Game". The author was honest about his operation; he laid it all out. I give him credit for that. My analysis:...He became a professional consultant to libraries where they can maximize their revenue. That is OK; as long as the patrons of the library book...

The question came up in another thread about 'Donating Books". Any one wish to have a say? "Book Crossing" was one suggestion. I'll talk about my donations after a few other postings.---Walter---

Donating books Nelka35, you'r right; we need a new thread for donating books; or is there one already? I'll take a look.---Walter--- P.S. I looked; none there; I started one---Walter---

Third man girl 3rd man, we start out using some level of a recognized book mark; then strange and creative things happen for some reason. What do you think is the reason? I recommend that commercial producers of bookmarks produce a bookmark upon which we can write notes.

Book marks I now use some Japanese money that I rec'd with a book purchase. I can't remember the vendor in order to give credit. I like the design of the money. Temporarily, I switched from the silk ribbon.---Walter---

Nelka, I did join "Book Crossing". I understand the donating of books but don't yet see the buying & selling. I will do a review. It will be fun to mail a book to another part of the country and have it placed out for picking up and thereafter receive a response. ---Walter---

Tim & others, I am trying to promote the usage of the word 'ephemera'. Actually, there is an ephemera society that has shows that sell all matter of ephemera. To collectors of all sorts of collectibles, ephemera has a broader meaning" All things surrounding a given item". The emphasis on...

Tim , great that you are becoming interested in Robinson Crusoe! Anything that I can answer, just buzz me. The book series is just beautiful. Do you collect other leather bindings? I buy single used copies of Easton Press just to reuse the bindings. My Crusoe collection now has 300 volumes. I am...

BookCrossing Nelka, thanks for the details; I will go there as soon as I finish here on this forum. ---Walter---

MXX, I mean Crusoe single images like Harpers Weekly or strips; no film or DVD. Thanks---Walter---

Does cartoons fit in this category? Anyway, I am looking for cartoons related to Robinson Crusoe. Not comic books or films. Any help??

Ashlea, you really pegged him. I'd love to talk to several people that have perused the shops and get their overviews of the contents. I wonder how one could find such people; maybe some Dallas book clubs? I wonder where all of his books come from; perhaps people just drive up with a car full or...
