The (Old) Book Thing

[Stygian Cellarius]

And most recently I acquired the final volume of Will and Ariel Durant's The Story of Civilization X: Rousseau and Revolution, first printing 1967, complete with dust jacket too.

Now my challenge is to find the rest of this series!!

Any leads would be greatly appreciated!

I will keep an eye out for the rest of that series at The Book Thing. I am pretty confident that I will cross a copy here and there. When I do I will let you know.

My word is good

Volumes II, III and the one you already have, damnit.

[Stygian Cellarius]

Ta-da.



I found some more today inside of nice book covers. They are in very good condition.

I know that they are not expensive to buy used via Amazon, but these are yours if you want them. Just an option to consider. They aren't going anywhere. They will just be sitting here in my apt. If you decide you want them then just shoot me a message and I will send them your way―free of charge.

No need to decide now. I'm just informing you of an option

Ta-da.

Ahh Styg that is mighty kind of you. I hardly know what to say!

A new addition

[Aemma]

Ok ok ok...I'm taking them! Psy and Ossi keep your paws off! They're mine!!

I'll send you a PM shortly Styg to iron out the details and such. How can I thank you? Your generosity is overwhelming. I am speechless.

Thank you!...Aemma

Let's just say that the Yuletide lasted a bit longer than usual this year:



My immediate reaction upon opening the box:

[Osweo]

VERY nice! I can make all of them out except the plain red one. What's that?

Thomas More's Utopia and Francis Bacon's The New Atlantis collected in a single volume.

...and another. Now this IS a beauty. Perfect condition.

It's my pleasure. Honestly. Todays find, Vol. XIII, will be a nice addition. Definitely the best quality one I have found yet. There are sure to be others though. I have found at least one a week so far.

and yeah, the books aren't going anywhere so whenever you are ready I will send em' your way.

I'm glad you liked them. That Treatise of Human Nature is a real treat.

[Osweo]

Damn, I wish Styg liked me.



This warehouse just GIVES them away?!?!? I'd go with a TRUCK! God, reminds me of when I was about 17. My school was building a new library, and getting rid of old books. They were mostly ending up SENT TO ZAMBIA!

I took boxes upon boxes. I can't imagine WHAT Zambians would make of 'Sweden as a Great Power', biographies of Aleksandr I and Nikolai I, Das Niebelungenlied (in Old High German!), The Great Peasant Revolt, Soviet Short Stories, The Fall of Constantinople, and many volumes of the Thames and Hudson 'Peoples and Places' series (including The Anglo-Saxons, The Scythians, The Greeks Before Alexander, The Seljuk Turks, Early Christian Ireland and more...).

Sadly, I've been separated from the very sight of them for several years. They're in storage at my Dad's works, and while I've been in and out taking what I needed at the time, their absence pains me.
