She baked her way out of foreclosure

During the Great Depression, people sold apples in the streets to get enough money for their next meal. Fast-forward 80 years to another recession and meet Angela Logan, who is selling apple cakes to friends, neighbors and total strangers over the Internet to get enough money to save her home from foreclosure. Link I know it's a feel good story. But it seemed the sort of story that might meet approval with both ends of the political spectrum. These things never turn out the way you expect, though.

Winner, Winner Chicken Dinner.....

Hey guys, thought you'd might like to see this - another cool find..... Found in a local So Cal Bookshop on Saturday night. Since I'll never own or likely even see another copy in my lifetime, I thought it was worth posting about - also, as more encouragement to the rest of the book folk that the 'Big Fish' are still biting.... Anyone out there know the significance of this edition of this title ? (also, not directly related to the signature) Hint:

Cell phone surf'in

What's a good web site for pricing books, like at an estate sale, that fits a cell phone format; particularly, a Samsung Blackjack where all I can do is scroll down the page? I need a site with an easy search method, and less graphics would work better on my phone. Thanks.

I will either be around alot or I will disappear

Better drive slower than usual if that is possible. Well, I have been exhausted lately. Had all my blood work done last week. With the numbers they gave me back today I now know why I want to just sleep all day long. I don't have any blood. Which one of you guys sucked me dry?? I have been warned to take it easy as a wreck or bad fall could make me not only bruise easy but bleed internally. But, you know me, I am not going to quit at anything I do. Tough. Will go back on the flipping meds and live through this too. Now I am off, going to try to do a back flip like I use to when I was 12. (teasing). I cooking fake red beans over here. Man, they look absolutely nasty, but it is food, so shut up and eat it. Me Me Ebay's BookSeller Board is not a substitute for education or intelligence.

If you were in this situation, what would you do?

I thus far have 100% positive feedback with over 650 responses--mainly book sales. I had a store but no longer do so. I think the easiest way for me to present this inquiry is through a 'what would you do approach'. I am focused on saving time in listing. a. I plan to list about 150 first edition books-most in fine condition-with pub dates ranging from 1965 to the present. They are a mix of literary titles (Mailer, Bukjaree, Vidal, Philip Roth, etc. some pop fiction like Stephen King, Scot Turow, et al., ad naseum. And to finish up, a third category of obscure novels by some well known people J.K. Galbraith, T. Williams, Harold Pinter, Tom Stoppard (these writers are well known but not as novelists). b. That's the inventory. Should I just list them individually or would it be worth learning turbo lister for this one time effort? If I do list them, do I need to be concerned with attractive templates or will the number of books for sale and linkages between them be enough to attract potential buyers. Should these be auction or fixed price or should I provide the option? If I describe a book as "As New" or "Spotless" should in upload a photo anyway? I am assuming a note stating combined shipping available is appropriate. Since I hae several titles from one author, i.e., 6 from Updike, 5 from Philip Roth, etc., should I mention this in the text of the appropriate listings.Finally, would it be worth it to open a store just for these listings since I don't know if I wll need it after that. Well, that's it. BTW, one reason to avoid lengthy computer/upload time is because I have repetitive stress injuries in my arms, and the less typing the better for me.

Rule-Set Reset

In simple terms, a situation in which things have changed so dramatically that new rules must be formulated to cope with it. Sometimes, these new rules are so draconian that another Rule-Set Reset is indicated to cope with the consequences. This is a hot topic in my industry, with the prevailing theory that the government reaction to the financial crisis may have permanently changed the financial landscape to the extent that past investment and risk-return histories and philosophies will have to be re-evaluated and possibly changed forever. Capitalism may no longer be viable over the long term and capital will have to seek alternative investments outside the traditional markets. Socialization of the Western economies have largely been sustained by the innovation, research and development of Capitalist America. If our GDP growth is cut by one-third, what happens to the GDP of the other countries already at that level? What will be the downward spiraling effect? If we "nationalize" many of our financial and industrial companies and then follow that up by "nationalizing" our health care and energy industries, do the remnants of our markets move offshore ... and to where? Politics and finances are irreparably intertwined under this new Rule-Set Reset. We have gone beyond regulation and entered the realm of mandates. This may be why I talk politics so much here on the board. When I retire in a couple of years, I'll talk more books and less politics and finance (and probably be very boring).

What was President Obama thinking?

Only my opinion, of course, but for him to have this incredibly important press conference on health care and to wrap it up by calling out the police referring to them as "acting stupidly", seems stupid. He had to know that this was what people would be talking about. Or is that what he wants? It just seems really shortsighted given the importance of the health care debate.

Official Airline Guide - book of flight schedules

I Just sold 2 OAG's and I have no idea why anyone would want 'em! The books are similar to telephone directories and just as exciting. Page after page after page of scheduled flight departures and landings. One of the books sold for 10 dollars (American ed)and the other sold for 90 dollars (International ed). I am really curious why these books have any value to anyone. Both books are around 20 years old and apparently were used by travel agents before the internet appeared. Any ideas? After I ship the books today, I will e-mail the buyers and simply ask them. I'll let you know what they said. Scotty

Ellery Queen: The Finishing Stroke

Copyright 1958. The book is inscribed to Bill Rukeyser: "Your mother's talk was wonderful-and I didn't mind at all being the only man present! Ellery Queen. From research I found a Muriel Rukeyser Link who was a poet/activist. It lists her son as: Son: William L. Rukeyser (b. 1947, not born to her husband). Could this be the same person (Mother) being the son would be about 11?

The Kindle Ate Our Homework ... Students Sue

A high school student has sued Amazon, claiming the retailer ruined his homework on George Orwell's 1984 by deleting the electronic version of the book without warning from the teenager's Kindle. Justin D. Gawronski, who lives in Michigan, filed the lawsuit Thursday in federal court in Seattle. He was joined in the complaint by Antoine J. Bruguier of California, who also had the book deleted from his Kindle. The plaintiffs, who claim Amazon did not have the right to remove the book, are seeking class-action status. ........................................ ........................................ Amazon Chief Executive Jeff Bezos last week apologized for removing the books, saying the company's handling of the problem presented by unknowingly selling illegal copies of the books was "stupid, thoughtless, and painfully out of line with our principles." Nevertheless, Gawronski and Bruguier argue that Amazon is still liable for the damages caused by its actions that go beyond refunding the money spent on the e-books. The plaintiffs are seeking restitution for "all damages caused by its conduct," as well as litigation expenses and attorney fees. The plaintiffs are being represented by the Chicago law firm KamberEdelson. In addition, the suit asks the court to rule that Amazon does not have the right to remotely delete digital content from Kindles and such action is a violation of Amazon's terms of use for the device. "Unless restrained and enjoined, Amazon will continue to commit such acts," the lawsuit says. Yadayadayada Link

Mosquitoes deliver malaria 'vaccine' through bites

In a daring experiment in Europe, scientists used mosquitoes as flying needles to deliver a "vaccine" of live malaria parasites through their bites. The results were astounding: Everyone in the vaccine group acquired immunity to malaria; everyone in a non-vaccinated comparison group did not, and developed malaria when exposed to the parasites later. Link How could this go wrong?

How do you price a book if you can't find it available anywhere?

I'm selling books donated to our local Friends of the Library, and have a donated book that is listed but unavailable on The River, and which I can't find anywhere else. The publisher appears to be out of business. I've tried all the standard ABE, AddAll, all the biblio's, all the ones listed on the yellow post and on the red board, etc. I've tried the UK and european versions of many sites. It's a book on t The r Reformation of Reform Judaism by Neusner, so I tried a number of judaica booksellers from a google search. But nothing on their sites either. I don't want to list it at a very high price on ebay, and just waste the FOL's money on listing fees by not selling it at that price, but I also don't want to well underprice it and forgo money that could be used for library programs. If you can't find a comparable price to use as a start....what do you more experienced booksellers do? Many THanks Judy

The Quill Greenwich Village 1926 ?

I apologize, I know this is not a book but I did not know where to go for help and I am not sure where to list this little magazine, The Quill, Greenwich Village, May 1926. I found a few bits of information about the publication. I don't know about searching magazines on the book sites. This is what is written on page 6, The Quill: an informal magazine containing almost everything. Anybody accusing us of being literary, socialistic, modern, bohemian, or of the intelligentsia will be sued and shot to the fullest extent of the law, Properly Censored by the Morally Inadequate. Motto: Our village right or wrong, but anyhow, our Village. Any thoughts on a category? Thanks in advance.
