For time-sensitive advertising months are measured backwards from the date of the event. (i.e. an auction or book fair taking place on the 12th of the October, for example, may post an ad from the 12th of any preceding month). For non time-sensitive advertising (bookseller, publisher, special service, etc.), normal monthly billing applies.

General Information & Background - We started out in the antiquarian and rare book trade, but after launching BSM in 1985 bookselling was put on the back burner.
After 28 years of meeting deadlines, our print version was shut down in June of 2013 because, as it turned out, there weren't enough paying subscribers to cover the high costs of printing and mailing. In retrospect, it was a wonderful decision because it allowed us to concentrate on develop this website while giving us more time for private bookselling, writing, gardening or hanging out by the lake.
We publish one or two e-Newsletters per month and anyone wanting a free subscription is invited to contact us at bsm@windstream.net with a simple request. You may also phone us at 315-655-9654.
