what was the series of childrens books that included a little girl that narrated but she was horrible at grammar and spelling? She usually talked about her day at school and riding on the bus, but the grammar in the book was always wrong as if the girl were really talking?
Does anyone remember this?
Junie B. Jones by Barbara Park
She started writing them in the early 90’s, most recent one was published last year.
I wish to make an offer to buy the publishing rights for a book, that was printed in 67′ (one edition) and never printed again. The author is passed on, what would be a fair price to offer the family. I preffer to buy it than work with royalties. Anyone know how I can find contacts for the authors family? Thanks in advance
If you like it then price is their, and if you do not like it you just do not want it even free of cost.
I really want to get back into reading and I want to do this by checking out books that have generally been received well by readers and/or critics, or are just well-known. Part of the enjoyment of reading is discussing the books, especially when it’s easy to find others that have read the same thing as you.
We have all these news blog sites focusing on film, television and DVDs, but is there a fairly regularly updated site (in blog format) that posts about new, mainstream books and authors?
You can try this one, It’s a 100 book challenge, I’ve found some really good ones (like Perfume: The Story of a Murderer). So far, I think there are 26 different books listed along with a summary and opinion…

It must have been written in the 1980’s or early 90’s. They were mystery books that featured a female lead who solved crimes and wasn’t Nancy Drew. It was written for adults. Each chapter had a art nouveau drawing. Thanks so much for any answer!
any of these ring a bell?
All of them are set in the ’20’s. I’ve listed the name of the detective and the author
Daisy Dalrymple series written by Carola Dunn set in great britain

Olivia Brown series written by Annette Meyers

Am reading the Grapes Of Wrath and I took it out of the library. The thing is …the teacher makes us highlight important passages from the book and I can’t do that. So, what are some stores that sell used books in Chicago? THANKS !
I’m not familiar with Chicago, but you might want to look for Salvation Army or Goodwill stores. I also recommend seeing if any libraries in the area are having used book sales because the prices at those are usually very good. Another thing to think about is, do people in Chicago do yard sales?
With good morals, inspiring characters, etc.
Christian books please?
Jesus Freaks, by dc Talk and The Voice of the Martyrs
The Secret life of Bees, by Sue Monk Kidd
A Walk to Remember, by Nicholas Sparks
The Chronicles of Narnia have Christian related things in them.
some of them are more for girls, since i’m a girl, but whatever.
hope this helps =]
I have several old books from various publishers that I want to upload the full text of online. Can I do that or do I need to ask permission first? How do I go about that? What are the legal issues, if any?
I think the key to your answer your question might be, " Is the book still protected by copyright?"
For instance, Project Gutenberg does exactly what you are talking about.

They take old books and turn them into electronic books.

There are 4 books and 9 people. There is no limit on the number of books a single person can have. How many ways can the books be distributed if A) they are just 4 identical copies of the same book B) they are 4 different, unique books?

I’m working on a paper and am citing a paperback book. The hardback version has a different number of pages, so citations do not correspond across versions.
Thus, when I cite the paperback, is there a special designation to note that my source is the paperback and not the hardback?
Thanks in advance for the assistance.
No but if all of the publication data is absolutely identical between the hardcover and softcover editions (which is unusual) you might note "softcover edition" in your bibliography or in the first citation.
