Happy to do so, this is a "work-in-progress" but hope to have it completed soon. Links to civil registers, historic airshow participants and movement websites Many thanks Graham.Ĭurrent Glider competition numbers (updated 22Jun22) Graham (GTF4J2M) has most kindly offered to post his own database of glider competition numbers which he will update on a regular basis. Would all new members please take a few moments to acquaint themselves with the few rules we have, thank you We can also bid for you at other types of auctions, including but not limited to cattle and tobacco, but you may not be as happy with the results.A place to say "hello" to new members, please let us know where you are based if you don't mind, thank you If you are interested in a major book auction and would like us to assess the lots and advise you about them, and be your proxy to bid, contact us. ![]() We provide this service to frequent customers, particularly when we will be attending the auction but they cannot. Chances are we'll give you either a straight answer, (if Dave is answering) or a long and convoluted one (if Tom is answering). If you are looking for a specific book that doesn't appear to be in our inventory, just ask. 4.) Secret books: sometimes we just like to have a few great books around that haven't yet been cataloged. Let us know if you want to be contacted in this manner. 3.) Books for customers: these are books for which we've received a duplicate order from a catalog, books for which a customer has expressed a serious want, books that we think will help to enhance the library of a specific institution or individual, and which we will then quote to them without those books or manuscripts ever seeing the light of day. Surprisingly, these are very often better books, as opposed to lesser books, which were set aside because we knew they deserved careful attention when cataloging (meaning we did all the easy cataloging first, and then forgot about them). When we get bored enough, we delve among them and see which of them it might amuse us to catalog, usually in a relatively untimely manner. ![]() 2.) Old arrivals: these are books that we've had for so long that we've very nearly forgotten about them. Click here to see our latest acquisitions. 1.) New arrivals: these are recently purchased books, which in the fullness of time will be processed and make their way into our inventory, usually in a relatively timely manner. There are four categories of books that are not listed on our website. But don't be surprised if we also find you some really odd and amusing stuff that you weren't even looking for in the first place.ĭo you have books that are not listed on your website? If you are looking seriously, and have demonstrated that fact, we will intensify our efforts on your behalf. If you are looking for inexpensive reading copies, we'll be happy to let you know if one crosses our path, but chances are we'll not let the pursuit of such titles distract us from our main mission, amusing ourselves, and hopefully you, in the pursuit of great books. However, if you are looking for a specific title or a range of titles in one of these fields, we will make at least a perfunctory effort to connect you with that title. (After all, you're at our site, aren't you?) Our objective is to find the best and most interesting stuff we can, and hope that the customers will come to us. We suffer from the "If you build it, they will come" syndrome. ![]() We can answer that with a categorical "it all depends." We are very actively (some would say hyperactively) engaged in the pursuit of great copies of important, unique, and/or amusing books in a number of fields such as literary first editions, detective and science fiction, African-American literature and history, manuscripts and author archives, sports fiction and history, wine books, vintage romances and other books with early dustjackets, popular culture, quirky crap, and many other bookish by-ways that we might find ourselves wandering into.
