New Arrivals...

A book on "Medical Entomology." A technical book on forestry. A book about digging for treasure! That should be a good one. Battle Cry the first novel of Leon Uris...? A 1970's book on cooking in Nice and Provence. And a nice hunting book: Hunting Trophy Black Bear.

These small press hunting books have a significant following. Sold Goats and Goat Hunting to Colorado for $195 recently and I was the cheapest available globally...the book was out of Safari Press. Worth looking for.... I never pass on small press hunting books...the odder the animal hunted the more expensive the book...

Had a negative feedback on Amazon removed...

As usual it was all a big mistake by the buyer... Sometimes people can make you crazy. Forgive and forget and just move on to the next... It's seems I'm always dodging bullets.

THE DAILY MUSE....

When you send someone an older book that is a bit worn...they are never really happy with it. There is always that sense that approval is limited...a bit of a disappointment really. Why bother with less than perfect books... Or maybe they just expect too much from a book that is 30 years old and long out of print. Any copy should be welcome...unless of course a new copy is available.

Birding is a popular topic...and Audubon biographies should never be passed on...

Asian religions and martial arts are worth having...

Books on pop culture...from the '60's onward are always sought...Hoody Doody and Rocky and Bullwinkle...sure tosell...and this pop stuff should be bought when available.

Sold a book on voice training to Australia today... The Aussies still have that Anglican choral tradtion like the UK... It's totally absent in the US outside of Utah and the Mormons...but then they are directly tied to the older American English stock that has been lost as an intact culture nationally....but still shows up in vestiges in Utah.
