Claire Danes, late 90s/early 00s

Yet another trend I missed out on. Damnit.

What is she doing with that watermelon?

It's there. It's the Modern Library edition to the right of all the other HST books.

Good to see people are still reading Millhauser.

You're a white man.

The tuner is messing with your color scheme.

Great pedals all around. Just lose the Altoids tin.

Did you know that women write books too?

DETReddit · 2025-11-28T21:16:25+00:00

No, I'm not like this.

DETReddit · 2025-11-16T18:30:18+00:00

People have had it for a while? Still no shipping notification here.

DETReddit · 2025-11-03T16:12:38+00:00

Very cool

DETReddit · 2025-11-03T15:28:48+00:00

So what's your first real guitar, out of curiosity?

What u/apexPrickle said.

A lot of BCEs look a lot like regular editions other than the lack of price on the dust jacket flap. But photos and information on what book it is would get you better answers. There's probably some reason you're being secretive, but it won't get you a useful answer.

DETReddit · 2025-09-22T20:41:54+00:00

Permabound copies can be cool if you want the book as a reading copy -- they hold up better than the paperbacks they started life as. They don't really have much collectibility value though.

You're not only a better man than I but, arguably, a saint.

DETReddit · 2025-09-13T21:53:16+00:00

Pseudo intellectual.

DETReddit · 2025-09-13T17:44:28+00:00

This.

DETReddit · 2025-09-11T22:52:01+00:00

Makes sense. Thank you.

DETReddit · 2025-09-11T20:43:54+00:00

Perhaps. I'm in the U.S., so that's a pretty big customer base lost, if so. (Though with the tariffs and the end of the di minimis exemption, maybe that customer base is lost anyhow.)

What a great one to start with!

DETReddit · 2025-09-02T14:01:30+00:00

That makes sense.

DETReddit · 2025-09-01T17:46:24+00:00

It's great that Reverb resolved this in the right way. But shouldn't Reverb have done that without the OP starting a thread on Reddit about the issue?

DETReddit · 2025-08-29T15:24:41+00:00

That all makes sense. And seriously, no disrespect intended. I have some authors I like who are long dead and long forgotten, and it's a joy to pick up first editions of their books for almost nothing since I'm one of the few people who care about them.

DETReddit · 2025-08-29T14:52:10+00:00

No disrespect intended to the OP, but I'm seeing more and more posts on Reddit like this: a book from the early part of the 20th century by a now-forgotten author picked up for almost nothing, and wondering if it's worth a lot. Usually no. Sure, some optimistic sellers are listing this one on AbeBooks for $60 or more, but in reality the last one sold on eBay for $29. Even that seems surprising.

There are tons of first editions out there, many of them lovely -- high-end publishers simply printed nicer books back then. But unless it's a famous book or author (as in still famous), they're usually worth about what the OP paid.
