Selling at Science Fiction Conventions
Part II
Collecting Science Fiction
Selling books at cons (or conventions) isn't at all the norm for most of us. As Tim Doyle will show you in Part II of his venue-expanding series, however, it can be a good fit for some and most decidedly a rich learning experience. Also, for those of you who have been waiting to exhale in anticipation of Tim's inventive, breakthrough floor display solution (promised in Part I), the time has arrived, and yes, you can color it black.

Bibliography of American Literature
Points to Identify Early Works
It seems that First edition identification is never
easy, no matter what you've got in your hands, but go
back a hundred years or more, and things can get
impossibly complex. Fortunately, there's help. Jacob Blanck's landmark,
massive Bibliography of American Literature (or BAL)
attempts to make at least some sense out of issue
points gone mad - and in many cases it does. As you might suspect, however, using this complex
reference isn't altogether straightforward, and
BookThink's Contributing Editor (and library science
guru) is here today to bring us clarity.

published, they are relatively easy to find. If you
aren't capitalizing on this yet, this is your
opportunity to start reaping bookselling dividends. Gold Edition #18 is available for
purchase now.
