Arkham House, Mycroft & Moran,
and Fedogan & Bremer Books
At the request of several of our customers, we started
a page for the books of Arkham House and related publishers.
We try hard to keep it up to date with news and a list of
forthcoming books and a list of those books we have of these
publishers - both new and used.

Author Web Sites/Fan Sites
A list of Authors and their websites or fan sites.
Unfortunately, I haven't kept up with the sites going out or
changing although a recent check with a program showed no
broken links. One can hope right?

Book Care and other book
information
About Books includes items on Book Care as well as a
How to Identify First Editions. It will include links,
reviews, and all kinds of other interesting (to us at least)
tidbits as we add to it.

Book Condition Description
We use certain "bookseller" terms when we describe our
books. Generally, they tend to mean what you think they would
mean. For example Fine means basically without faults. The
exact meanings behind what we mean are given on this page. As
mentioned on the page, book condition is sometimes a
subjective "call" by the book seller. We try to be objective,
but might (in your opinion) fail. If so, you can return the
book for any reason.

Book Inventory Programs
The question of which book inventory program to use was
always coming up on some of the forums I visit so I though I
would put down some thoughts here. It is evolving and will
eventually try to cover many aspects of inventory management
(in the sometime distant future). In the mean time, if you
have something you would like to see, let me know.

Book Reviews
A slowly growing list of books we've reviewed. We would

General Links; Other Book Stores,
SF&F References, Detective/Mystery References,
etc.
Well, that about says it all. This is sort of a catch
all for links which don't specifically belong anywhere else.
Right now (about 6:41 pm Central US time, Oct. 16 2005),
there are four sections, Science Fiction & Fantasy,
Mystery - Detective, Arts and Crafts, and Book Related
Links.

Newly listed books
Just maybe some of you out there are interested in
which books have been uploaded recently. If so, you can look
here.

Previously Featured Books
Previous Featured Books is where we list the books
which have been featured on our home page - we may have more
about the book than is in the normal catalog listing, so we
decided to just keep track of them here. For example, when we
featured the
Chronicles of Narniawe listed "both sequences". The
order in which they were originally published and "the
preferred sequence of CS Lewis".

Ramblings/Blog/Book Reviews and
whatever
This is really a series of pages consistings of almost
anything. On these pages I've written about Medicard Part D,
about searching for information on a book on Google and at
the Library of Congress, reviewed several books, and talked
about the IOBA. No telling what will show up there. I'm sure
we'll duplicate information on the rest of the site, but a
lot of it will be unique. Hope you find it of interest.

Transfer Homebase data to
BookTrakker
We use BookTrakker for maintaining and updating our
main database of books we have listed here on our site. In
talking to other BookTrakker users, they wanted to know how
they could use someone to enter data which they could
transfer to BookTrakker either in addition to or instead of
using the network version of BookTrakker. Since we use both
the network version and Homebase as "auxillary input
systems", I though I would finally describe how we did the
Homebase to BookTrakker part of it.
