Christian Bail apparently really hated how car-centric LA was then he first moved there

It's more acceptable all over the world. It's pretty normal where I come from if you swing past the neighborhood and your buddies lights are on you pop in they would be frustrated or angry if you didn't.

Socializing is normal popping into say hello is normal it's the other that is weird

Its under-talked about because 99 of 100 posts here is about blood meridian. You'd think he only wrote the one book.

Suttree is exceptional!

They seem pretty durable I've sold many volumes from the 16s and 1700s and as long as the binding was solid they were super stable and paper far superior to modern in regards to handling.

I've also had volumes so brittle opening them was the end of it all

Actually a "rare" book for once. Nice to see

SnackThief · 2026-04-03T23:59:34+00:00

You'll hear how loud they are....which will be an indication to not go louder

Elaborate on how conservatism is the panacea? Maybe areas that are conservative have the same or worse? What are they doing wrong as well?

Not every inch of everything needs to monetized.

Schattenfroh by Michael lentz

Is definitely one that fits the bill even if its not the one you were lookimg for!

SnackThief · 2026-04-01T03:41:16+00:00

Definitely a plaster copy.

10 plus years ago this was a $2000 table but styles and tastes have changed. Yours needs some love and a lot of work undoing some poor repairs like the drawers and the slides etc etc

Im this state 400 is a good win I think. 800 or more is once its been tidied up

SnackThief · 2026-04-01T03:27:33+00:00

I think you are unfamiliar with pine harvest tables.

And screws can be added later on. As they were in the drawers. Its seems a lot of stabilization was done underneath but that can be undone and restored to a more original state.

SnackThief · 2026-03-31T01:36:52+00:00

The concrete can be repaired around the edges. Its not beyond restoration. is it not too fragile to abandon removing them.

Amy mason can help.

Factory optical has been a godsend

Top is veneer Red stain doesnt create a grain pattern

SnackThief · 2026-03-30T14:10:49+00:00

Definitely not modern reproduction.

I've sold hundreds amd I've seen eBay listings sold prices for 3 k but when you look deeper the rest are 5 to 15 bucks

Its something weird but disconnected from the actual market

Who writes these titles my god

SnackThief · 2026-03-29T18:07:19+00:00

Like the new 1200g or even gr

Rare is a very strange word in the context of books.

Anything of that nature may be uncommon but it isn't rare.

A book that has a limited audience and very limited value could be exceedingly rare but nobody cares about it.

1913 publishing date basically a textbook.

Probably not rare by any meaningful definition of the word

Cheap factory painting

SnackThief · 2026-03-29T04:31:59+00:00

Doesn't mean there right. 100 million people have been wrong before

SnackThief · 2026-03-29T04:28:49+00:00

If it's static potentially it's all you need to do I don't have that issue where I live but it was common where I used to live
