We began in 1947, with editorial work for a national literary magazine...then for a daily newspaper...& lastly for 30-some years, editing & printing weekly sale catalogues for an international book auction house -- all the while buying & selling books from College & Private Libraries. It's been interesting for 60 years--and still going strong!
Difference between "EX-LIB" & "OUR BOOKS--FROM COLLEGE & PRIVATE LIBRARIES"
"Ex-lib" (public library) books usually lead a hard life. Most have been torn, underlined, scribbled, used as coasters for wet coffee cups, highlighted, dropped in puddles, & stood on to reach the top shelf. That is why we discard almost every "ex-lib" survivor. ||| "Our Books from College & Private Libraries" are a different matter. They are mostly Primary Source Books, Monographs, Offprints, etc. from collectors, non-circulating & college laboratories, professors' reference books. Most rarely need overhaul. The rest have their card pockets removed; spine labels & marks eliminated; loose pages re-glued; frayed tips & spine ends repaired to respectable appearance. ||| An accurate, detailed, reliable description--in plain, everyday English--& a brief outline of content "puts the book in your hands" so you can judge its usefulness to you.
