Accumulating a stack of grey cardboard

2010-06-27T13:39:00.000-07:00

Accumulating a stack of grey cardboard, more properly paperboard, rectangles is one of the fringe benefits of the job. These are bundled so as to impart their rigidity to the published materials they accompany. I sell used books on the internet. Smaller paperbacks can better hold their shape during their tour of the postal system when packed with slabs of pulp.

Selecting books from the discount shelves of a bookstore or library book sale requires examining one book after the next to assess their potential resale value. Cobweb grey ellipses of dust appear on the finger palps after the first 30 minutes of this activity. By the time the book scout feels he or she has been satisfactorily thorough the grey matches that of the cardboard slab. Like 10 shadows cast by 10 finches eggs arranged stonehenge-like as the sun changes position through an elapsed year. A "dust-henge" erased by wipe and dries purchased at a subway newsstand after confusion over the hand sanitization product requested.

Chess Books

2008-04-02T19:41:00.000-07:00

It occurred to me that since I have been specializing on books about chess and that I have a good number available for folks at reasonable prices that it would make sense for me to list them for people. My own experience with chess is that I start out good However, as the game progresses toward stalemate I subconsciously sabotage myself just to put an end to it. I know some of you out there really love the game. If I could find an accessible book about how to close a game I might derive more enjoyment out of, if not winning, at least understanding what was going on while I lost.
Anyway, what follows is a list of the various books I have available on the game.
