We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good  

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

...for all values of journalism that are like writing in your LJ.

Always Anti-fascist!

I'm sure it's very trustigious.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Exactly. It's truthiness is beyond reproach.

I think Stephen Colbert needs to start his own Truthiness Awards.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

And he just did a whole thing on it. No mention of "truthiness" per se, though.

Soooo, does anyone have a recommendation for websites to find out about the value of 1st editions of non-antique books? I have two different books that I suspect are worth more than I paid for (especially since I paid less than a dollar for each), but I don't know.

Have you tried abebooks? Since it's a bookselling site, it's probably not good for insurance prices of first editions, but you'll get a sense of what the market price might be.

I hadn't tried there yet, thank you!

If I only had a brain...

I'd use MXBF. (Aka Bookfinder.) This cross-searches most of the known used-book services, so you can see the range of prices.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Well, I just paid the $20 and the woman I spoke to said if I sent a letter, they might remove the negative credit item.
