-=>While in the White Hart, Russ Jernigan explained to Fred Runk that<=-
 JM> Why they don't take them, I don't know.  Do mystery fans
 JM> buy fewer used hardcovers than other used book buyers?
 
 
 FR>I find that is true for all sorts of hardback fiction, not just 
ysteries.
 FR>The usedbook stores now will take only out-of-print or old hb, or new 
nes
 FR>if the pb versions haven't come out yet.  Once the pb version appears on
 FR>the stands, the stores here won't take the hb versions.
 RJ> This doesn't seem to be true in Boulder County, Colorado.  "New" HBs
 RJ> are moving briskly in the used BS I go to.
Is that after the pb version has come out?  Around here I can sell hbs until
the pb version comes out, then I find it hard to get rid of.  Exceptions
would be if there's a strong demand for the book.
