RETIRED !!QUICK UPDATE: I AM NOW WORKING FOR KRISPY KREME DOUGHNUTS IN DELTA, B.C. !!! ALL OF MY REMAINING BOOK STOCKS HAVE BEEN DISPOSED OF VIA LOCAL SALES. MOST LIKELY I SHALL NOT BE SELLING ANY BOOKS IN THE FUTURE DUE TO DUST/MOLD. AT PRESENT, BECAUSE OF MY WORK LOAD AS FUNDRAISING & PROMOTION REPRESENTITIVE FOR KRISPY KREME, I MOST LIKELY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DO THE WEB PROJECTS PLANNED, AT LEAST FOR SOME TIME. SOME DAY LATER THIS YEAR, AFTER THE DUST SETTLES, I'LL DECIDE WHAT TO DO. MANY THANKS TO ONE AND ALL WHO HAVE SUPPORTED ME. AS FOR FEDOGAN & BREMER ... ALL REMAINING STOCKS ARE ALMOST GONE. EMAIL IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR ANY SPECIFIC TITLES. AND NO, I DO NOT HAVE ANY SLIPCASED LTD's AVAILABLE. THAT'S IT FOR A QUICK UPDATE ... SEE YA ... ----------------------------- If you haven't been following the story here ... A quick synopsis follows: After some thirty years breathing book dust & mold, the lung health isn't great, and the fact the Internet has changed things in such a way for the old-style of bookselling that the old instincts & experience of what is rare & collectable just do not cut it anymore. For collectors and gatherers, this is a great time. It is nice to see books surface in numbers that were once thought to be rare or at least made more available to a wider audience ... the whole world ... unlike the old situation of the corner bookstore or mail-order cataloguing being the main source for the average or avid bookbuyer. And all that brings about my changes ... As of April 1st, 2006 I began the process of retiring from the used book trade; which was hoped to be completed by the end of 2006. Now, as noticed, more likely to be later in 2007. Though a sad time, the future holds several projects which will keep me quite busy & happy while continuing the march to "Geezer-Hood". This website will still be maintained, but with revisions: ON HOLD ...1) A low-key amount of Bookselling ...  ... Special & Collectable items.
ON HOLD ...2) AUCTIONS on  of odd & nifty things gathered over the years:
{ my eBay ID is : housedaddy_bookman }
ON HOLD ...3) New sections for FISHING LURE & FLY COLLECTING / TRADING / SELLING _____ 
ON HOLD ...4) Several presentations concerning 
Bakka & Canada's Science Fiction history.
All the above will be offered with a new refined and visual format. And will include links to my newest and continuing auctions on eBay along with, Information pages & fun presentations on whatever takes my fancy. We shall see what bubbles up. A limited number of book listings are still on-line. ALL BOOK LISTINGS ON ALL SERVICES ARE DISCONTINUED. That includes my website and the following book services: ALIBRIS and BIBLIO.COM. Fair warning: Should you see something on the site here or listed elsewhere ... go for it ... I will be unloading a lot of nice collectable material and it will not stay around long. Which goes for me as well ... I'd rather be fishing on a nice quiet lake in B.C.'s Interior!! KEEP WATCHING FOR CHANGES !! Now motoring through my 12th Year on the Web, the virtual shoppe shingle still creaks lazily in the electronic wind out front on the Internet Highway. ( Grey-haired Charlie has been in the book business over 30 years now ! ) A special " Thank You " to one and all over the years for your kind patronage !! For the lost among you : The answer to Life, The Universe, and Everything ... is still ... "42". And folks. Take a moment to "Look Up!" at the Stars some night. It doesn't get any more real that that!! |
