5.0 out of 5 stars If you are a biblioholic, this one is for you!, 22 April 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Book Finds: How to Find, Buy and Sell Used and Rare Books (Paperback)

If you are interested in buying, trading, selling, or collecting books for fun or profit, I would strongly recommend that this should be the first book that you pick up! Mr. Ellis is very knowledgeable in the field of book collecting and willingly shares that knowledge with the reader. He also names over 1000 titles that would be worthwhile investments.... if you can find them. There are also terrific tips about caring for your books and thus, your investments. This book is written with a sense of humor and wonder that every biliophile can enjoy. It also makes poking around in new and used bookstores (and Amazon.com) more fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Now I'm a bookseller!, 10 Jul 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Book Finds: How to Find, Buy and Sell Used and Rare Books (Paperback)

This book definitely got me from just thinking about selling used books as a hobby, to actually doing it. Ellis provides great tips on what, where and how to scout for books to resell, and 1,000 titles to look for. The book is written in an enjoyable style.
