What is a 1st Edition?
The 1st time that a book is published, anywhere in the world, by anyone, the resulting volume that is produced is called a First Edition. It has never been seen in printed book form before. 1st Editions are very highly sought after by book collectors, and if you suspect that the book you are selling is a 1st Edition, it's always worth including the fact in your listing. But how can you be sure? What are the variations? To look at the the 2nd question first... [Read more]

Guide to Book Grades
Are you looking for a book on Ebay? Are you confused by references to such as VG-, NF, or Good+? A seller may not have a picture of the book at all, so how can you tell what sort of condition the book is in, what do all these codes mean, and how come buyers seem willing to hand over their cash given such a brief description?
Well, when I was younger than I am now, in the days before the internet, book dealers produced lists of books that they had for sale, posting them out to existing and potential customers throughout the land. A very expensive exercise, involving sleepless nights and many trees... [Read more]

A Guide to caring for and repairing books
Many people collect books but all to often, they are not stored correctly or are not handled carefully. Here is a short guide to help you look after your books and tips on how to repair them.
CARE OF YOUR BOOKS
Handling books
Old books require special care and it goes without saying that you should make sure your hands are clean and free from grease. Books should be taken off the shelf gently and should not be pulled by the top of the spine as this will cause the binding to weaken over time.
Turn pages carefully to avoid creasing and be careful not to bend the pages back more than necessary as this can break the spine. Avoid writing in books if possible as this decreases their value and... [Read more]

Simple Comic Grading
For those of you who are confused with the grading of comics, here is an easy and simple explanation on the terms used.
Grades of Comics
MINT: Describes near perfection in the comic. This includes complete flatness, bright colors, glossy covers, sharply cut corners, no rust on staples and supple, white paper. There are some schools of thought that say that because of its perfect nature, a comic in mint condition is impossible to find.
NEAR-MINT: The same schools of thought that believe Mint comic books are impossible to find hold that the highest quality of comics one can find in the market are Near-Mint. NM comics have only minor imperfections, that are very subtle and just less “eye-appealing” than... [Read more]

Buying Underground Comics on Ebay, Things To Remember
1) Photos/Scans : are all important, if there isn’t a photo, ask the seller if they can send you one. Scans are preferable (the higher resolution the better) as they generally show the condition of an item (particularly a comic book) a great deal more clearly than a photograph. Photographs are often taken inexpertly, sometimes with a poor quality camera or camera phone and often do not accurately reflect the true condition of an item. We generally do not bid unless there is some image of the item present. Why? It means the likelihood of paying out good money for something in poor condition is drastically reduced.
What might be hopefully described as being in “Near Mint” condition by the seller who wants their item to sell for as much as possible is sometimes rather less appealing in the flesh. Inexperienced sellers will often post these phrases after seeing them on other auctions without fully understanding what they mean. Some auctions will list the author/artist, the publisher, the ISBN number, etc - basically everything you need to know, a lot you don’t, and still completely neglect to mention the condition, which is of paramount importance, as it is one of the main indicators of value, particularly in the field of underground comix and collectibles, and comics...
