Daniel Carkner🥀The two completely unrelated books I bought cheap at a used bookstore in New Haven this past weekend (Grey Matter books). Heard of Jewish Public Culture but never heard of Activist Archives.

CrippaJag minns fortfarande kicken när Nova Science Fiction dök upp i tidningshyllorna. Jag var 16 år och köpte vartenda nummer de första åren. Magasinet blev rätt kortlivat förstås (den senare inkarnationen i pocketformat fastnade jag aldrig för). Samlingen försvann nånstans längs vägen men nu hittade jag de fyra första numren hos ett antikvariat. Det här ska bli kul. <a href="https://mastodonsweden.se/tags/sciencefiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sciencefiction</a> <a href="https://mastodonsweden.se/tags/scifi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#scifi</a> <a href="https://mastodonsweden.se/tags/reading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#reading</a> <a href="https://mastodonsweden.se/tags/usedbooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#usedbooks</a> <a href="https://mastodonsweden.se/tags/Antikvariat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Antikvariat</a>

Sarah SammisI buy a lot of older books off Better World Books, meaning they are most likely library discards. Today's book, Black and White, by David Macaulay (1991) was until 1993, part of the Airdrie Municipal Library in Airdrie, AB, Canada. Sometime after it made it to Better World Books and then to me. I wonder where it went in those 32 years?<a href="https://sfba.social/tags/reading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#reading</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/UsedBooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UsedBooks</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@bookstodon</a>

MorganOnce in a while, when life feels overwhelming, I read a children’s book for true escapism. I picked this up after looking for it for quite a long time. The first Warriors book. Hard to find used, believe it or not (I buy most books used). I really enjoyed it and recommend it to all lovers of cats, young and old.<a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/bookstagram" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookstagram</a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/usedbooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#usedbooks</a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/childrensbooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#childrensbooks</a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/catstories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#catstories</a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/warriors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#warriors</a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/catbooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#catbooks</a> @erinhunterbooks

David CroyleToday we visited what has become my favorite used book shop - Robert's in Lincoln City, Oregon - and I love used book shops. This place is a quirky maze with a massive selection so it's always the first place I want to stop in when we visit. <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#books</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/usedbooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#usedbooks</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/RoadTrip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RoadTrip</a>

Cord WiljesWhen you buy used books, sometimes you learn about the copy’s history by markings on the inside. Here is one I received yesterday.<a href="https://nfdi.social/tags/usedbooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#usedbooks</a> <a href="https://nfdi.social/tags/IUPAC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IUPAC</a> <a href="https://nfdi.social/tags/terminology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#terminology</a>

Alexanderi bought some specimen in my favorite shop of used books. for example 'Das Grauen. Seltsame Geschichten' (the horror. weird tales) by Hanns Heinz Ewers. today i think the author is almost forgotten but for his Alraune -- in his time he was one of the most prolific writers of the horror genre in germany. So i look ahead to the first story "die tomatensauce", the tomato sauce. (which reminds me of Wong's soy sauce) <a href="https://troet.cafe/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookstodon</a> <a href="https://troet.cafe/tags/usedbooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#usedbooks</a>

Kim PossibleUsed book retailers often use coded stickers on the spines of their books, for ease of retrieval from warehouse stock. This makes perfect sense, but those stickers on the spines do not look great on your shelves. (Oddly, call numbers on library discards don't bother me.)But, I'm here to tell ya that Thriftbooks stickers are easy as pie to peel off. Do not try this with Better World Books. Those stickers are forever. <a href="https://beige.party/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#books</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/UsedBooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UsedBooks</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Thriftbooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Thriftbooks</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookstodon</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@bookstodon</a>

Alexanderhow or why are finding some books the way in your collection? an example: first you have to find a typo, which is bugging you. like this one: the curved quotation mark in the second line. typesetting in the gdr preferred the guillemets. so how did such a mistake happen? i could call several ways how to do it today, but know next to nothing about the techniques of typesetting in the late 80s in the gdr. so, there you go <a href="https://troet.cafe/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookstodon</a> <a href="https://troet.cafe/tags/usedbooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#usedbooks</a>

Your Autistic Life FR/EN/ES(Boost for visibility.)What's everyone preferred method to sell used/antique/rare books?I think I need to get rid of my home collection of books I acquired during my Ph.D. I don't think I'm ever going to use them again. They deal with religion, Indian Buddhism and Hinduism (ancient, mostly), Sanskrit, Classical Chinese, Classical Tibetan texts, etc.I'd like something convenient to manage and that maximizes my revenue.Yes, I realize I'm probably asking to square the circle here.<a href="https://mast.yourautisticlife.com/tags/UsedBooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UsedBooks</a> <a href="https://mast.yourautisticlife.com/tags/RareBooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RareBooks</a> <a href="https://mast.yourautisticlife.com/tags/AntiqueBooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AntiqueBooks</a> <a href="https://mast.yourautisticlife.com/tags/academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#academia</a>

Alexandera day in the book bubble, isn't it? first, you find something interesting, see example <a href="https://ohai.social/@hypnogoria/113291252549494402" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://ohai.social/@hypnogoria/113291252549494402</a> than you follow the bread crumbs on wikipedia and finally the new book arrives nice!<a href="https://troet.cafe/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#books</a> <a href="https://troet.cafe/tags/usedbooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#usedbooks</a>

Alexanderwere in maastricht, had to buy something in the Boekhandel Dominicanen -- of course. at the register the really friendly man told me that he could see by the form of the price tag on the back, that Eddison is waiting to taken home by about twenty years. and let it for free.<a href="https://troet.cafe/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#books</a> <a href="https://troet.cafe/tags/usedbooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#usedbooks</a>

Alexanderso, i thought, let's try a new adventurous journey and start with blake & mortimer. being a complete noob about the series, and with no easy access to the books in french, i bought Schuiten's 'le dernier pharaon'. and why not, i love 'les murailles de Samaris', but it's quite not the same of course. costs me embarassing much of a time to see my mistake... <a href="https://troet.cafe/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#books</a> <a href="https://troet.cafe/tags/usedbooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#usedbooks</a>
