Name: ALL ABOUT BOOKS Packet
Price: 5.00 USD

A packet I put together during my years of buying and selling books, especially rare and 1st editions. The material is very helpful for proper description of your book. It includes:
Parts of a book (great for describing condition)
Ebay's Condition Terms
AB Bookman's Weekly Condition Terms
List of Book Genres (you'd never guess how many!)
1st Edition Identification by Publisher
Helpful Websites

A Note From VAMP:

ALL ABOUT BOOKS Packet

Is it a Collectible…or is it just old?

Default

My name is Felicia, but I'm known as PackratQueen...because like a packrat I’ve accumulated large collections of stuff!! Among my books, jewelry, coins, mineral specimens, fine art, kitsch, pottery & glass I hope you'll find something fun and fabulous!
