Collection (Private)

I bought my first 45 in 1963 (Little Stevie Wonder's "Fingertips" on Tamla — 98c at the A&P!), but only really began seriously collecting records since 1967.
I have a wide range of collecting interests ... have a look at my lists: 45cat / 45worlds.

annaloog ● 2nd Nov 2024		Book Elisabeth Sanxay Holding - Net Of Cobwebs	I found a copy of this some years ago at a Goodwill thrift bookshop, complete with dust jacket, though the laminate is peeling a bit. Not many of these early Bantam paperbacks had these DJs; my 1982 Hancer price guide identifies less than 10 of them.
annaloog ● 24th Oct 2024		Book Captain W. E. Johns - Worrals Flies Again	I'd think that the 'real' authorship of, say, Mark Twain is fairly well known. That of, say, Carolyn Keene , Saki, or Charity / Lee Blackstock (among many others), not as well known. Sometimes, it's a matter of how far the book uploader is willing to go to research the author, though I'd expect it's much easier to accept the book-in-hand at face value. Eventually, given time, patience and enough prodding, the better-known authors and their pen names will be assembled together. H'mmm, no BBcode link for pen names.
annaloog ● 24th Oct 2024		Book Storm P. - 155 Av Storm P:s Bästa	"Storm P." appears to be a pen name for Robert Storm Petersen.
annaloog ● 23rd Oct 2024		Book Captain W. E. Johns - Worrals Flies Again	Quote: ... I was told 10 years ago we use real name and then indicate pen name in the appropriate field - with no exceptions. The guide to adding books (also) states, Do please add books using a single canonical version of an author's name, even if there is a variation of the name on the book cover. The name could be that which the author is best known, or how the author is referred to on Wikipedia, eg D. H. Lawrence, William Shakespeare, Margaret Atwood. [my emphasis] The problem I see with using the "real name" (as here) is that it is not always obvious, and it's far easier to use the pen name, since that is ordinarily on the cover or title page. The copyright holder sometimes, but not always, is the author's real name.
annaloog ● 20th Sep 2024		Book Clifford Knight - Death Of A Big Shot	My copy is an ex-library copy, the dust jacket of which apparently had been discarded except for a clipping of the plot synopsis (presumably from one of the flaps) which had been pasted on the first page.
