    Things are fine,different and yet the same. We're working hard at the house, I have too many books, and get overwhelmed about once a month.

    How're you doing without the young one at home?

    I hope things are well otherwise too. I'll email you. It wa NICE to see you back here.

    Be well m'friend --

    :) No, I managed to squeak through. A little more rain coming through, but the brunt of it is over. For some reason, my computer has been acting up and won't let me post to FV, which is a pain, but it has more to do with computer-imps than the storm.

    Here's my tips for selling books to a used bookstore for more $, condensed. 1. Put them in a clean box. 2. Make sure there's no water, oil, sharp objects, or anything alive with the books. 3. Call the shop, ask if they BUY books? What type do they want? Do they pay cash or credit? Do you need an appt?

    The first 2 items seem obvious & aren't. I've had glass, compasses, rodents, bugs, books stuck together etc. A clean rag run over the books it doesn't hurt either.

    I had an sf/genre fiction shop. People brought me encyclopedias, parenting, cookbooks, etc. none of which I bought. It's a waste of everyone's time. I paid less for whatever I DID buy because I had to go thru so much stuffl to get what I wanted.

    If you wouldn't buy it, you probably shouldn't offer it unless it's pretty special. A tattered S. King probably not, but an 1850 hardcover on Indians maybe

    You'd be amazed at the trash bags, etc. that come into a bookstore & folks expect premium $ for their junk.
