What do they have in common? They all are good books found in used book stores that make excellent investments, and sometimes can be resold the same day for lots of cash. There is no mistake. Good books, bring big dollars. But, more important then cash, these books are collectible because first, and foremost, they are great reads.

These are the names of American Literature. These are the sure fire sellers in all bookstores. Everyday readers discovers these authors and is overwhelmed by the quality of their work and their individual gifts to captivate the reader in their world on wonder.

Pick up any book by Charles Dickens and read it. Give it a try. You will be overwhelmed and the power of this writer who worked with ink and a pen quill. Very little reference material if any. No spell checker. Nothing. Just beautiful words written with such a flowing grace that you are carried into a special world.

Why do people return to the classics?

Because the quality of their writing is of such elegance that it can't be compared to some of the modern fiction writers of today.

An excerpt from David Copperfield by Charles Dickens:

I discovered afterwards that Miss Lavinia was an authority in affairs of the heart, by reason of there having anciently existed a certain Mr. Pidger, who played short whist, and was supposed to have been enamoured of her. My private opinion is, that this was entirely a gratuitous assumption, and that Pidger was altogether innocent of any such sentiments - to which he had never given any sort of expression that I could ever hear of. Both Miss Lavinia and Miss Clarissa had a superstition, however, that he would have declared his passion, if he had not been cut short in his youth (at about sixty) by over-drinking his constitution, and over-doing an attempt to set it right again by swilling Bath water. They had a lurking suspicion even, that he died of secret love; though I must say there was a picture of him in the house with a damask nose, which concealment did not appear to have ever preyed upon.

Wonderful!

I recommend highly investigating being a full time or part time Book Scout. If you need $20 or $100 tomorrow a book scout is trained to put cash in their pockets everyday. You need an extra $1000 a month, you can do it. Book Sellers need books. When a Book Scout knows the tricks of the business, they can put cash in their pocket everyday. I know, I was a full time Book Scout and owned two Used Book Stores for over then years. If you need more information take a look at http://www.makecashsellingbookstoday.com/
