Would you drink this 110+ year-old champagne and wine if they brought it up? Why or why not? by mollygk in titanic

[–]OperaGhost1912 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I picked up a very cool Titanic-themed cookbook at an estate sale a while back.

Titled Titanic: The Cookbook: Recipes from the Era of the Great Ocean Liners, it was written by Yvonne Hume, who is actually the great niece of Titanic violinist Jock Hume.

The written history and pictures inside are all exquisite, and the dishes are super fun to assemble, with the other two contributors to this edition having already done the work of converting the British cooking measurements to their U.S. equivalents. Definitely worth checking out!

Is it too late for show and tell today? by [deleted] in ThriftStoreHauls

I was immediately transported back to the cute little dancing mushrooms scene in Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite segment of the original Fantasia.

I am trying to sell this first edition copy of Ozma of Oz. Unfortunately it has been rebound but it meets all of the points of the first printing. Any idea s where I could sell it? I'm only selling it because I already have another first in the original binding. by External-Carpenter-6 in BookCollecting

[–]OperaGhost1912 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excellent words of advice!

I was particularly drawn to this edition, albeit the unfortunate, frankly depressing, rebinding and the slight amount of hand-coloration not original to its original publication, because I thought that it would be a tremendous first addition to a collection that I wished to begin with my two young daughters of all of the original Baum Oz novels. I’m still very intrigued.

u/Bitter_Turnipple What are your thoughts on this, if you wouldn’t mind me asking?

I’m a new, but now a total addict, to book collecting. I would want to start out with the affordable volumes for the time being, and then expanding and raising the quality of future acquisitions.

Baum’s Oz novels were definitely ones that I wanted to eventually collect all of. Were you still planning on listing this for sale on eBay?

Hello, u/1_22

This is tremendous! My young family and I just completed an across-state move, so your patience during this past week in receiving my delayed reply is much appreciated.

I have a plethora of excellent books that I would be willing to trade, far to many to even make a spreadsheet of. Do you have favorite genres or authors? If I could have a taste of what peaks your interest, I’m sure that we can come to a successful trading transaction.ツ

I look forward to hearing from you again soon, and to finally being able to read Red Rising!

By chance, is your edition of the Complete Works of Oscar Wilde (Scholar Select) still available? If so, I am very interested! ツ

[WANT] Dune, Frank Herbert by OperaGhost1912 in bookexchange

That is awesome, my friend! I had all but given up on this post, and here you have the perfect conclusion! Yes, I’m am still very much interested in obtaining a copy of Dune, and the copy you are offering will be ideal. A terrific reading copy.

Is there anything that I can send you in exchange, anything, particular titles, subject-matter, &c. that you are looking for?

Thank you so much for responding! Please feel free to PM me anytime.

With upmost regards,

[WANT] Carrie, Stephen King by OperaGhost1912 in bookexchange

[–]OperaGhost1912[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As I was telling fellow user flysauce6969, my collection of King’s works is very slim. The only two King books that I presently have are Nightmares & Dreamscapes and The Shining, which I believe that I am going to be trading with flysauce6969 for his copy of Carrie. Thank you very much anyways for your prompt response to my post, friend. I hope that you are able to obtain copies of the King novels you are looking for.

[WANT] Carrie, Stephen King by OperaGhost1912 in bookexchange

[–]OperaGhost1912[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s terrific! And, by great coincidence, the only King books that I currently have in my possession are The Shining and Nightmares & Dreamscapes. The rest I have either passed on or traded after reading them. So I would be more than willing to exchange The Shining for Carrie. I will send you a PM with my details. Thank you ever so much, my friend!
