I have about 60 eBay searches saved which I execute twice per week, and another 40 that I execute once per week. ‘Search title and description’ is ticked on all searches, and most of them are performed at the ‘Book’ category level. The gist of the more frequent searches is something like the following:
(seuss,suess) (dj,dustjacket,dust,jacket,dustwrapper,wrapper)
I don’t use key words “first printing” or “first edition” since there is a lot of misuse of such on eBay.
Another example of a routine search is:
“Robert McCloskey” (dj,dustjacket,dust,jacket,dustwrapper,wrapper)
If you would like to use some saved searches of Caldecott Medal winning books, then go to
Caldecott Medal Books
Each of the links is a hot link to a saved ABEBooks search.
I’ve executed these searches routinely for the past decade.
