holy holy shit !!
i've been going through my books ...

i have 1000's that i bought for the purpose of selling on ebay
(seperate from my personal collection) but i no longer have the time - so i'm sorting through them to see what to keep, what to pitch, what to donate..etc.

i just found a hardcover copy of William S. Burroughs - Cities of the Red Night.


ist edition - limited


signed by the author.

I had no idea .. probably paid 50 cents for it.

i'll be keeping this one.



sorry - i had to tell someone.

i am totally amazed at what people get rid of ..

i've found at least 30 - 50 signed books.
many are canadian authors .. but some are famous

(a signed charlton heston autobiography for one)

That is so awesome... you could probably sell that thing for quite a lot. Not that I ever would, but still...

can you give us a sampling of what you have to get rid of? perhaps some people on here would be interested in taking them off your hands and saving you the hassle of ebay.

Just out of curiosity, what program do you use to catalogue everything? Plus, I'd also like to know what you're parting with. :) I'm pretty local I think.
