This is the contents of the original bibliography thread that fine.books began but ended up being tossed. I had 63 posts to begin with, but I may have edited out posts that were not specific to this thread. (I do that to most of my 'saved' threads so they will be easier to read.)

I do not plan to post a hint or tip-a-day, but I hope others will drop in from time to time and leave a few pearls of wisdom. Kick-off Tip: Use keywords. Seldom do I use the title or author’s name in the 45-space title unless it is a collectible or has a famous illustrator. Usually I use a string of keywords. Sometimes the keywords come easily and other times they are not as obvious. I group by theme as much as possible, both to attract the multiple buyers and to ‘expand’ on the...

Compare that with Palin's gun-totin', lard eatin', baby packin', image. Thank heavens this country has better representation. I'm tired of the world thinking we're the meanest, ugliest bunch of yahoos on earth.If I don't reply to some posts, it's because there are some people whose posts I never read.

I am at mom's house in New Orleans as I always try to head in earlier than the others to help her with the cooking. Thankfully I don't mind cooking. Of course when I left Mississippi it was colder than here. So we froze leaving and hit the state line and began sweating. I hear a cold front is coming through so this should be interesting as you never know how to dress here. It took me forever to get here, (so it seemed) in the new car. They have this pain in the butt console between the...

Everybody always starts these blasted pet threads .... cats dogs and sqirlls and marsupials. My pet springtail is saddened and a little miffed at this neglectful attitude towards his species.

In Book News . . .Seeing Red Over Palin Parody New York Post, November 23, 2009 A parody of Sarah Palin's book "Going Rogue: An American Life" has been causing huge confusion -- forcing Palin's publishers HarperCollins to take out ads to direct buyers to the official version. The rival book, "Going Rouge: An American Nightmare," was released on the same day as Palin's memoir and features an almost identical cover. Colin Robinson, co-publisher of the book, compiled by Nation magazine...

Last year, someone posted a recipe for a Thanksgiving dinner that could be made in the crockpot. Turkey, stuffing...sounded yummy, but I didn't print it out and cannot find it in the archives. Anyone remember? Or do you have other good recipes for this time of year?

. Why a good cover makes a good book better Call me shallow (actually, please don't) but I think a good cover can be a significant component of a good read Fading into the wallpaper? ... Penguin's new Nabokov covers It's official: the nation is in the grip of Naboko-fever. You can't open a newspaper, switch on the radio, or click open a Guardian blog without stumbling across a reference to the late great Vladimir Nabokov (see what I mean?).

I have 3 old german prayer books, all alike, what would be the best way to offer, as a set, seperately, or both, to see which creates more profit. Seems to me I should only offer one way so as not to "STIFLE" the bidding process, any advise would be greatly appreciated, Thank you. Respectfully Jeff Brooks i.e. selboksnstuf
