Page history last edited by Anonymous 3 yrs ago

Hopefully the site map will help you find yourself around the White Unicorn Books site. We hope you find it useful and if there is anyway you think it could be made more useful please contact us .   We have listed the pages and "actions" alphabetically.

  • Arkham House, Mycroft & Moran, and Fedogan & Bremer Books
    At the request of several of our customers, we started a page for the books of Arkham House and related publishers. We try hard to keep it up to date with news and a list of forthcoming books and a list of those books we have of these publishers - both new and used.

  • Author Web Sites/Fan Sites
    A list of Authors and their websites or fan sites. Unfortunately, I haven't kept up with the sites going out or changing although a recent check with a program showed no broken links. One can hope right?

  • Book Care and other book information
    About Books includes items on Book Care as well as a How to Identify First Editions. It will include links, reviews, and all kinds of other interesting (to us at least) tidbits as we add to it.

  • Book Condition Description
    We use certain "bookseller" terms when we describe our books. Generally, they tend to mean what you think they would mean. For example Fine means basically without faults. The exact meanings behind what we mean are given on this page. As mentioned on the page, book condition is sometimes a subjective "call" by the book seller. We try to be objective, but might (in your opinion) fail. If so, you can return the book for any reason.

  • Browse
     A page with the list of categories for our used book store. It includes all of our categories, even those with just one book in them.

  • Chrislands Book Stores
    Chrislands is the company which hosts our site. We are very happy with them as are their other customers. This page gives links to many of the other Chrisland stores.

  • Contact Us
    Clicking on this should open your e-mail program with a blank message addressed to us. Just fill in the subject and message and send it. We like to hear from you.

  • General Links; Other Book Stores, SF&F References, Detective/Mystery References, etc.
    Well, that about says it all. This is sort of a catch all for links which don't specifically belong anywhere else. Right now (about 6:41 pm Central US time, Oct. 16 2005), there are four sections, Science Fiction & Fantasy, Mystery - Detective, Arts and Crafts, and Book Related Links.

  • Glenn Larsen's Guide to First Editions
    Copied from Books-Rare, the book collector's home Copyright © 1997 by Glenn Larsen. Sadly, the original is no longer available., but we have a copy of it here.

  • Global Book Town Book Stores
    Have you ever walked through a bookshop neighborhood, dropping in at one store after another looking for that special book? Global Book Town has recreated that atmosphere by bringing together bookstores from around the world for your shopping enjoyment. This page lists just a few of the Global Book Town Booksellers.

  • Help for on-line book buyers
    We hope this page will help you have a more pleasant on-line book buying experience. It also lists a few other places to get books - If we don't have the book you are looking for, of course :-)

  • Home Page
     The main page where we try to introduce ourselves and present a few featured items. It also contains a list of our most "plentiful" catalogs.

  • IOBA Book Stores
    The Independent Online Booksellers Association, is dedicated to promoting internet bookselling by, in part, "Maintaining and enforcing high ethical and professional standards for our member booksellers, including a Code Of Ethics." White Unicorn Books is a proud member of the IOBA and on this page we list some of the other IOBA stores.

  • Newly listed books
    Just maybe some of you out there are interested in which books have been uploaded recently. If so, you can look here.

  • Previously Featured Books
    Previous Featured Books is where we list the books which have been featured on our home page - we may have more about the book than is in the normal catalog listing, so we decided to just keep track of them here. For example, when we featured the Chronicles of Narnia we listed "both sequences". The order in which they were originally published and "the preferred sequence of CS Lewis".

  • Ramblings/Blog/Book Reviews and whatever
    This is really a series of pages consistings of almost anything. On these pages I've written about Medicard Part D, about searching for information on a book on Google and at the Library of Congress, reviewed several books, and talked about the IOBA. No telling what will show up there. I'm sure we'll duplicate information on the rest of the site, but a lot of it will be unique. Hope you find it of interest.

  • Search
     An advanced search page where you can put in Author, Title, Publisher, and other limiting descriptions of the books. This is instead of just a "quick search" where you only have a single item.

  • Setting Up an Internet Book Store
    An article I wrote for the IOBA. It presents a "first look" at some of the things one should think about in setting up an internet book store.

  • Sleeping Beauty, a Special Collectors Edition with illustrations by Dulac
    A page devoted to a special book. The 1910 limited edition of Sir Author Quiller-Couch's The Sleeping Beauty and Other Fairy Tales, illustrated by Edmund Dulac.

  • Shopping Cart
     Your shopping cart where we hope you have placed a number of items to buy. Really, its just the list of items you have said you want to look at in more detail sort of thing. If you click on a "Add to Shopping Cart" button, that item gets added to the list. If you want, you can take it off later.

  • Transfer Homebase data to BookTrakker
    We use BookTrakker for maintaining and updating our main database of books we have listed here on our site. In talking to other BookTrakker users, they wanted to know how they could use someone to enter data which they could transfer to BookTrakker either in addition to or instead of using the network version of BookTrakker. Since we use both the network version and Homebase as "auxillary input systems", I though I would finally describe how we did the Homebase to BookTrakker part of it.

  • White Unicorn Site Map
    That's this page, but I thought I would include it jut to be complete.
