A Few Opening Words from ASK: Adrienne Sioux Koopersmith/Chicago, IL USA:
I suddenly woke up this morning at 5:11 with a delightful IT: Idea/Thought.  As a Reader/Writer/Author and one who has always supported Literature & the Arts, I seem to have collected (and proudly so) an Excess of Books. However, I feel the same way:  You can never have that many Books.  They are just the Greatest Gift to give while they also remain the greatest Gift to receive; while they are the greatest Items to collect.  Therefore, in order to pass along many of the Books I have accumulated, I am starting an Online eBay Shop on my very own Blog  called KOOPERSMITHin’ here that will be aptly named:

$3-BUCKS-A-BOOK - ASK'S BOOK STALL.

The idea is to ‘stall’ no more. Look at all of the Books ‘out there’ that you will never read. This Selection that I am selling are proven winners; always interesting and real page-turners.


As we all know and have seen before our very eyes:  The Publishing Industry is in a Shift and Change.  So many Books are now eBooks.  Libraries are dismantling their Bookshelves making way for Cyber Copies.  Yet, I can honestly say that the better times of my life have been when I have been ‘just’ sitting there and reading a Book.  And, for those times where you have been in a state of limbo or on the outskirts of being ‘bored’ the action to take is to: 

 “Stall no more! Here's a Selection of Books that are cheap enough to read yourself and then pass on!” 

A  Win-Win Situation from all Angles.

This Operation is designed for only Chicagoans, West Suburban & North Shore Residents (or travelers passing through the area)- as I won’t be mailing the Texts out due to their give-away & el-cheapo prices.  In mint condition, these Second Hand Books are awaiting your Attention.  Therefore, peruse the List below to see WHO you will be reading next.

to set up ‘the particulars.’

Additionally, if someone wants a particular Author, put in your Request. I’ll attempt to find those for you, also.

HISTORICALLY:  This is an Extension of my ABC:  Adrienne’s Book Critiques ©2002 whereby I promoted Authors & reviewed their Books placing my Evaluations online & distributed those Reviews to hundreds of thousands of Personalities/Businesses & Outlets. For those of you wondering how the Name came about, the Explanation can be said in 137 Characters (3 Characters short of a full-sized Twitter) and those are: 

When I was ‘bored’ (imagine that), one day in the 1990s, BUC PANTELIS, a friend simply told me this: “Put your mind into a Good Story.” 

He actually ‘said’ Book.   I readjusted the Copy as that’s what we Writers naturally do to enhance the Flow of the Words on the Page. It’s a Part of our self-derived Job description. I feel those Words are synonymous - one in the same.  Those Words were never forgotten.  I’m sure BUC would not mind or worry about that mild readjustment.

Feel free to contact me with any special Questions or pressing Queries you have.
