Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

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."

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.

Jeebus.

"Might"? Bullshit.
