I love a good booksale.

The milsurp in me always loves a good book sale

Printed in 1939

The rest are 1914-1919 printings, the only problem is that one of the books has a binding that is going to come off. Does anyone know anyone who can repair these older books and bindings?

Amazing the stuff that's stashed in attics, etc.

Looks like soem good reading. Mind scanning every page and posting them? Look them up on eBay or Amazon and see what they are worth.

 

[Talquin]

Paid seventy five cents for the top one and two or three dollars each for the rest.

i am envious. Can you provide book details? i may go look for a couple of those at the local library.

this is going to sound bizarre,but either a museum or a church library should be able to steer you to a restorer-that's what they're called- these guys deal with books that are hundreds of years old, esp bibles,that sort of thnig- esp the roman catholic faith comes to mind- there might even be a resource in winnipeg

There are a couple of custom and restoration binderies in Winnipeg.

I usually deal with Phil-Mar Trade Bindery, but they do books in lots of thousands, not single copies.

You want a custom bindery or a book restorer. There are a few.

NICE books! I have a couple of them in my own little library, but that top one is worth a shelf all of its own; this is the first copy I have seen.... and the information inside is essential.

Good purchase!

Talquin, you might want to give Bison Books in Winnipeg a call. They are on Graham near the 'Bay. They deal in used books and can probably make a recommendation.

Actually there are plenty of copies of that one available and at a reasonable cost as well. ($3-$15)
