Among the Gently Mad: Strategies and Perspectives for the Book Hunter in the 21st Century | 
After a short hiatus, I'm reading another book 📖 about book collecting (tagged). I'm about 1/3 of the way through. I'm eager to learn more before expanding my collection of early 20th century women mystery writers - so far I only have one book - The Circular Study by Anna Katharine Green, printed in 1900.
I think I have a pleasant but very confusing dilemma. Which book do I read next? Two books in this pile are by the author of the book I just finished. Do I want to continue reading nonfiction or choose from among the fiction? Anyone ever read any of these?
#TBRtemptation post 6! This is a field guide for modern book collectors. After having talked with many sellers & collectors, NB's distilled their superb insights into some solid advice and tips. You'll learn: how to determine if a book is 1st edition, how to spot book club editions, the importance of the jacket, scouting flea markets, how to work book fairs, handling the goods, spotting trends, Internet buying, etc. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
One of my proudest moments ... being called "one of the gently mad" by Nicholas Basbanes, one of the kings of "books about books" and a collector extraordinaire. ? #SignedSundays #SignedSunday #BooksAboutBooks
