Most of his working career has been spent in retail of one sort or another, and his bookselling experience ranges from large book store chains to independent specialty bookshops. Over the years, Bud's supplemented his hard-won knowledge of the field by poring over his personal reference library and by consulting those even more obsessed than he. Along the way he also proved he paid attention while reading all of those books by selling fiction and nonfiction to a variety of markets including Analog and The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. Bud's one of few living Americans who can properly be called an award-winning epic poet. He lives in sin in Central Virginia with an understanding woman and three furiously neurotic damn cats (aren't they all?).\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 92\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.19 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 05, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53105871421756,"sku":"9780615523439","price":28.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0975\/7265\/1324\/files\/w00y7tg_g99780615523439.webp?v=1780548108","url":"https:\/\/barginbooks.co\/products\/the-joy-of-booking-a-guide-to-buying-and-selling-used-sf-books-paperback","provider":"Books Fare ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
