Used books

There are many reasons to buy used books in Milan and many others to sell them, but the common feature is only one: give a second chance; to used books!
Holding a used book in your hands means many things, one of which concerns our planet.
To put second-hand books into circulation, it seems trivial, but there's a lot to do. need a lot of paper and this continuous production increases pollution.
Instead, to reduce all this waste, it would be a great help to pass the books around, making them available to others once finished.
Then, by buying used books in Milan, it is inevitable that there is also an economic facilitation.
More often than not, when publishing new and used books, it doesn't take long to find already out there. a used copy.
Having a used book in your hands, which you previously already had; read someone else, lets you know the old owner as well.
Through folds, underlines and annotations, you have the possibility to know the thought of the person who was before you; in love with that rare book.
The most more important than buying a used book, is; come to the awareness that you are giving those pages the opportunity to to be savored by another reader, and the latter will enter the market. in history as if he were himself the protagonist of the ancient book.

What are first editions?

In the banality; more absolute, the first edition is not; other than the first printing of the book.
When a book is published, the publisher must decide the number of copies that will then be placed on the market of the original books.
If we think of collectors, it comes naturally to us that they want the first editions of rare books, because they want to buy them. there will be very few copies on the market.
In the Di Mano In Mano bookshop we can offer you some first editions that will be the envy of any collector.

Discontinued book

 
A book is defined as discontinued when the publisher decides to withdraw it from the market, or stops circulation of further prints.
Many used books out of print are not sold, they remain in the warehouse of the publisher and the latter must find a way to dispose of them.
These discontinued books will cost less than the original book, and many publishers are considering the possibility of selling them. to resell them at a discount.
 

Collectable Comics

 
Ever since we were children, it has been automatic for us to look after toys, playing cards and even author's comics, an activity that we have always had in mind. which comes quite easy to us, unless you want to collect rare comics which is not something you want to collect. only a passion but also a real investment. The collector, who spends entire salaries looking for rare comics, will focus on the collection of comics. more about collectable comics than author comics.
By manga comics, on the other hand, we mean all those comics that are also identified as Japanese comics. A little curiosity that could be very interesting for many of you concerns the printing of comics in black and white. At the beginning, the use of color cost too much for the amount of prints to be made and therefore there was a tendency to print black and white comics. Are you typing "I sell manga"? We are interested!
