Harry Potter, will he make it?

Sunday, February 7th, 2010

Did this author make a mistake in writing the last three books or as it is allegedly suggested by some did she actually write the books at all?

With the vastly different writing styles, the first two were very nicely done, yet they seem to have progressively become worse.

Is Harry potter larger than life? Some are asking questions about who really wrote the books…

Is dumbledore really dead, has the writer failed the people who love these characters.

Murdering them one by one because as the latest rumor goes, she did not write the books at all but they were written by a ghost writer, perhaps the ghost whisper could help us out here.

Some have said that the director of the latest movie should be fired…

We agree…  But what do we know…

There are a lot of rumors out there,

You know, writers are always a little off in the head, at least that is what I have heard…

More so if you write something like the harry potter series and you go downhill, Well at least in the movie department, but still these books first became of note as a youth product, then I guess you would have to say a young adult product.

What is it about the author and her alleged propensity to want to kill off the most beloved of characters?

The under dogs if you will, you know the one’s people like the most, also while we are picking at the bones, for a moment, why is it seemingly one sided in the art department, at least with regard to those that would do good. It this something dark in the authors dark soul, (again alleged) it just seems odd that time after time and indeed year after year Harry Potter has learned nothing in the way of defending himself?

One such great author one time made the statement that what makes a good book good is if it is believable, or some such thing, or perhaps he said, what makes a good plot is if it is believable, If you can believe it, it can be good, but if it is not believable like how one sided it appears to be in the harry potter series, If you doubt that last, just count how many from the dark side have died, in the movie and book that is.

How many good characters have died? How the author has threatened to kill off one major character per book till the bitter end of the series. what is up with that, could it be a reflection of an unhappy life, personally I like harry potter and the other characters, but the author seems to just hate them… One has to wonder about freudian aspects of her childhood…

But that is a different story…

In the mean time hate it or love it, harry potter appears to be surviving at least for the moment.

Collectable Books

Friday, September 18th, 2009

Are you interested in collecting books?

Are you a Bibliophile?

Collecting books is a huge pastime for many people all over the world.

What makes a book collectable?

First edition, Publisher, Condition.

These are some things that can make a book collectable, more often the author of a book can be what makes the difference in how collectable a book is.

For an example, Anne McCaffrey, for many is an author that is very collectable.She has a talent for producing a world that you can feel like you are actually there.You find yourself, imaging what kind of character you are while you are reading the book, now that is collectable talent.

If you have yet to read one of her books I would highly recommend that you do so as soon as possible, the Dragon Rider series is perhaps one of the better ones, but she has so many more that it would take you years to read them all.happy reading..

How to describe a book the best way possible

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

One of the things that many book sellers find difficult is to accurately describe a book, more so for the newer book sellers who may not have as much experience selling and handling books as other have.  There are a multitude of expressions, some sellers use a certain vernacular to describe the books, antique sellers will often use a different set of terms to describe a book than say a seller of good used books.

There may be a set rule somewhere, however I have not seen it chiseled in stone at least yet, however there are some rules that you should be aware of and these rules are more like the golden rules of doing business than anything else.

There are a few good ways to think of a book, using the plus minus system.

You can say good plus, which means about what it sounds like, then lets use good minus, that too is fairly self explanatory, the plus and minus system is a good way to begin describing a book, but knowing that the buyer cannot touch the book before they buy it online at least, then it is better to take a closer look at the book.

Begin by looking at the book, look at all the sides, the spine, visualize the amount of wear on the book has the book been obviously read many times, is it a hard cover, or is it a soft cover.

The Boards

On a Hard Bound book you will have boards in more modern books these boards will be covered with cloth, some older antique books may be covered with leather, that is usually the mark of a much more valuable book, but usually only when the book is of a particular author or rare by the published date.

As an example there are several antique books written by a Doctor in the days of the pioneers, back in the late 1800s, many of his books are cloth with some very rare ones that are leather, even more rare are some hand written manuscripts, concerning snake bites and other such topics.

His books are hard to find because most of the people who have his books are not willing to sell them or even trade them.

Handling books is something you should practice and do well to handle a books in the same way each time.

Stay tuned for more book information in the near future.

buying books online, how hard could it be?

Saturday, August 1st, 2009

Great question, glad you asked it, buying books online could be a real issue if you don’t pay attention to the description.

There are a lot of book sellers out there and if you are buying a used book you can get a great bargain but you have to read

what the seller has written, a lot of time it is easy to just scan over the description and just read the price.

Price is not the only thing you want to look at when buying a book because even a new book can have marks, scratches, punch holes,
and even worse, yet, if you do not read the description you may miss that information.

So always read the fine print, before you buy any book from anyone online.
