Thread Name: Pirated ML Editions From: Ron Holl <modlib@removed> Date: Wed, 14 Jun 2006 12:10:38 -0400 I have never seen a pirated edition before, but Henry has posted one for sale on Amenities (Bulfinch G14). So the jacket on these editions is identical, except all ML markings are removed. How about the binding, and title page? If the book did not have a jacket, could you tell if it was a pirated ML? ------------------------------------- From: Ron Holl <modlib@removed> Date: Wed, 14 Jun 2006 12:17:55 -0400 Scot, you can add Bulfinch to the list of spotted pirates! ------------------------------------- From: Scot Kamins <kamins@removed> Date: Wed, 14 Jun 2006 09:45:34 -0700 [:: sigh ::] http://www.ModernLib.com/FAQpages/generalFAQ/faqPirate.html ------------------------------------- From: Ron Holl <modlib@removed> Date: Wed, 14 Jun 2006 12:53:33 -0400 Now, don't be too hasty. After I sent that first message, I checked the archives and saw that good friend Joe was asking for this to be added to Dogeared. I went to Curios first, then Identifiers, then Paper Resources, and finally General. No Pirate info. It was through the Site Map that I discovered it. It lives under General/ML FAQ. It doesn't deserve a place under curios, eh? ------------------------------------- From: Scot Kamins <kamins@removed> Date: Wed, 14 Jun 2006 10:52:30 -0700 I said >[:: sigh ::] Then you said >Now, don't be too hasty.

Use Google to search Dogeared, or expand your search to the entire Web." These hints are followed by a Google search box set to look on all the Dogeared pages. >It doesn't deserve a place under curios, eh? A curious question. I shall take it under advisement. ------------------------------------- From: Scot Kamins <kamins@removed> Date: Wed, 14 Jun 2006 12:17:41 -0700 A careful consultation with Dogeared's main advisor (Charlie [Scot's labrador] ) has resulted in two actions on this matter: (1) Bulfinch's Mythology has been added to the "Pirates Spotted" list in the Pirated editions FAQ item with credit given to RH for the discovery. (2) A link to the Pirated editions FAQ item has been added to the Curios section. ------------------------------------- From: HTatML@removed> Date: Thu, 15 Jun 2006 15:15:50 EDT Pirated editions in general: Usually ML logos and distinguishing marks are removed from dj, but illustration and back cover are often Modern Library. Usually the ML logo inside the book is present. Cover of book is most likely plain with silver or gold scripting. There is a Chinese stamp either at the back of the book or the front. Pirated editions are not too difficult to find. However, they are very hard to find in at least Very Good or better condition. -------------------------------------
