Description

Erik Larson: The Ins and Outs of Parentheses

Erik Larson has written a string of best-selling nonfiction books including The Devil in the White City, which sets serial murder in the time of the Chicago World’s Fair. His book ranks with the most popular nonfiction of all time.

Erik Larson: An Annotated Checklist of First Editions

Larson hit the best-seller lists with his third book, Isaac’s Storm, about a devastating hurricane that hit Galveston, Texas at the turn of the Twentieth century. Of course, now his first two are the most elusive, if not necessarily the most expensive, of his books.

Classic Comic Strips as Collectable Books –

Dik Browne’s HÄGAR THE HORRIBLE
Hägar the Horrible was the alter ego of his creator, Dik Browne, a wonderful artistic talent who drank a lot of ale but who also created our candidate for the funniest comic strip of its era.

Tape, Tape, and More Tape!!

Some booksellers use shipping tape whenever they wrap a book. Shipping tape is sticky. When the sticky side touches dust wrappers, it tends to adhere to the images. Goodbye images!

Packing to Ship

We reprise our article about shipping books. The only shipping tape we use is on the outside of packages.
