In this essay I will...

But seriously does anyone else feel that if a book's cover is different that it's a different version of the book? For me, I've determined that I am both a book reader and a book collector (and those are very different hobbies) and so book cover art is a lot more important to me than to some others.

Would you call this a first edition 43000 printing range? Also the cover isn’t quite matching up with what I would expect a first edition to look like. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Most of these are second hand.

I am a local Redding, California collector who accidentally donated this limited-edition copy of Leonardo Sciascia's L'Affaire Moro to the Redding, California Goodwill in March 2026. It is in Italian and is roughly 6" x 8" and 1/2" thick. This book holds immense personal meaning, as I received it directly from the author in 1980.

If you happen to be the person who purchased it or if you have seen it, I would be deeply grateful for the opportunity to buy it back - l am prepared to pay a generous premium, no questions asked.

If you have purchased books from either the Redding or Red Bluff locations since March, can you please check you collection?

Please respond to this post or reach out to me directly via Facebook DM if you have it. Thank you for your time and help.

One of the most beautiful versions of the Odyssey you can buy.

Eight disappearances still unsolved…

I just found these while cleaning and getting ready for a move. Would anybody in here be interested in them?

Can’t believe it was in church and in the kids section with all the children’s books I found this, a obscure book called play school no information on it at all and now I have a copy as they gave it to me, good condition and hadn’t been used hasn’t been coloured in or written on no tears, brilliant condition
Very obscure and rare ☺️
