COLLECTING CUSSLER: AN ETHICAL APPROACH

I recently penned another book on collecting the works of Clive Cussler although its subject is a bit different than the others. This one is entitled ‘Collecting Cussler: An Ethical Approach.’ Basically, it sums up pretty much all of the good, the bad and the ugly that I’ve encountered over the past dozen or so years. In it I try and discuss instances that collectors should be aware of as well as positive and negative dealings from buyers, sellers and even a few collectors. Here’s a breakdown of the chapters: 1. The Clive Cussler Collector’s Society, 2. A Note to the Reader, 3. Introduction, 4. Why Collect?, 5. Representing our Members, 6. Using the Society’s Name, 7. What Makes a Reputable Dealer?, 8. Guidelines for Collectors, 9. Mayday! Is Not Mayday!, 10. Clive’s Signature, 11. Keeping Multiple Copies, 12. Book Club Editions, 13. Ex-library Editions, 14. Establishing Cussler Book Values, 15. Advance Reading Copies [ARCs], 16. CCCS Code of Ethics, 17. Book Grading and Condition. It’s a thin book, only 117 pages and I only have a very limited number of them. If you’d like a copy, send me an email at this address on this blog. Thanks.
