Louis Lamour Leatherettes!!!!!

[MOTUfan]

My mom had been buying my dad these through the Louis Lamour club prior to her dying. and had never kept up with the bill lol. We had it cancelled as it got to costly, $25.00 a book plus S/H. So we put his LLs into storage, and some time ago which I chronicled over at he-man.org our storage got broken into and these all got stollen sadly. Our Dad had roughly 40 leatherettes out of the 124 made.

So every birthday and holiday myself and Wendy would buy Dad a few as even at 10-12 a pop that's spendy lol.

So I was wondering if anyone here has any they no longer want that maybe we could aqquire.


Here is what we have reaqquired:

I tracked down two that your already have at ioffer. I saw the Collect Short Stories vol 1 at Amazon, but it says publication was 2003, and none mention leatherette cover.


Try this: go to Amazon.com - choose "books" to search in. Then type in "lamour collection". This will bring up TONS of books that you can buy used (I've bought lots of used stuff off Amazon with no problems). All of them appear to be the leatherette books, so that must have been the name of the series. Lots of titles there I see on your want list. Most of them are under $10. If you don't see the description specifically mention "leatherette", don't be afraid to ask a question of the seller.

Good luck! I know how nerve wracking it is to replace lost things. I'm still replacing board games lost in a flood.

funky-rat,

I had only been using eBay and honestly Amazon NEVER entered my mind for some reason lol.

I will have to check it out lol.

And according to this auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...sPageName=WDVW all 124 books were made into Leatherettes, this seller mentions he has 121 of the 124 up for auction this week. So I am curious if indeed all 124 books are avalible in leatherette form as for the longest time I had heard of only 121 being done. It would be cool if the short stores books were done in leatherette

[funky-rat]

I didn't scroll through all 44 pages of books, so they may be out there. The prices on Amazon were good - the ones I checked were all under $10 each.

[MOTUfan]

Just bought "North to the Rails" leatherette for $.95 plus shipping it came to $4.44 I e-mailed the seller to make sure and they e-mailed me back this morning I think I will use amazon ALOT, as I seem to save a bit versus ebay

Brent

It's nice because the prices are outright - no bidding. I've bought a lot from there and there's never a problem. I don't think as many know about the Amazon marketplace either. Someone refered me there, and I've been sending people there ever since. I'm glad you could find what you were looking for, and it looks like you'll be able to get a lot of them back that way.

[lordsmurf]

Half.com is good too, and at one point in time bookstores (bn.com) even did used books sections.

[MOTUfan]

I mean if I can keep the prices under the ebay norm of about 12-14 a book that would be great. Heck onder $5 is just awesome, and at that price I should be ablut to get most of them by december Well except for the two collected volumes which I doubt are in leatherette form, and if they are I almost bet they are only avalible if you buy all the other books at one a month through the club, ugh.

So I wonder iof anyone has those lol, let alone is willing to sell them for a while anyways

Brent

[MOTUfan]

LOL I just located another book, Utah Blaine, it was behind dads desk lol.

Must've fell back there just after Christmas lol. So I updated my wants list heh.

BN.com actually used ABEBooks.com, only with a markup.

Amazon's Marketplace is a good way to track down stuff. So is www.abebooks.com - it taps you into the inventories of used book stores all around the world. I have found a number of books I'd been searching for for a long time (one over 20 years), and I've been pleasantly surprised at the prices and the service. And once you buy from some of these sellers, you can start to develop a relationship, and they will look for books for you, if you provide a want list.

Another good source was www.tomfolio.com - some sellers who didn't like the way ABEBooks was evolving went there. Not sure if it's still open for business, though.

Good luck - that's a really nice thing to do for your Dad, Brent!
