Antique

[close] Basically as the title says, its a group for those who collect antique books :) We can discuss the books already in our collections, books we will add or hope to add to our collections and where we get our books from.

[close] Good day to you ladies and gents. I am hoping that soon this can be a unique and fanciful group of taleweavers. Everyone is welcome here,even if you just want to offer a critique occasionally and it will be family friendly! I would like it if people contributed whenever they can during the month,but I plan on keeping it pretty casual. This is however a poetry writing group so please keep that in mind. If you don't have time for another group but want to look everything is open to everyone who isn't a member. Feel free to peruse! I do prefer those comfortable with at least a beginner knowledge,maybe taken a class or two. I am quite particular about my poetry so don't be hurt if your poetry doesn't awe me. I will be nice regardless! Now then,go on and create your lovely words,my dears!

[close] Here's a place to discuss out-of-print, forgotten, obscure, and beloved juvenile literature which you would like to see republished or digitized. There are so many excellent, imaginative, timeless classics that have fallen by the wayside. It's tragic. This is a group to share these titles with other readers, in the greater hope that publishers will take note and will reprint them for another generation, or simply because other users love vintage juvenile literature and would like to track down used copies. All books discussed here should have been written and originally published well prior to the year 2000 (and preferrably well before that - pre-1980s especially!). We discuss books from another era. Therefore, non-PC and dated content is likely to offend some people. We ask that users be open-minded, not quick to anger, and if they dislike something or feel offended it, that they deal with those personal emotions in a constructive and mature manner (i.e. by navigating away from the discussion they dislike). Again, users should act 'in good faith' and respectfully to all. But this is also real life - we won't be censoring global content to cater to individual tastes and needs. That bit is your part to take of. :) (It's silly that I have to say that, but here we are...)

[close] For anyone interested in black and white movies, actors from the dawn of film through the 1960s, or the culture of the era, this is the book club for you. We read four books a year (a new book each season) alternating between fiction adapted to the screen and non-fiction about the screen.
