I normally don't sell books, so I could use some help here. I have a book titled "Figure Sketching" by Bernice Oehler. It is a fourth edition published in 1929 and is in good condition. It basically is an instructional book. Would it be better listed under a rare category or an instructional category? Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

You could try Sports-Sporting Goods-Skating. Or you might want to list in 2 categories such as nonfiction instructional and Sports.

Sorry, can't read. I thought it said skating. So ignore my advice.

Sketching would go under art.

Hi,

It's not a rare book, would probably be best in Non-Fiction General, or an art-related book category.

Post it under Books>Medical>Anatomy

Oops, thought it said "Finger" Sketching. Never mind.

I have sold a lot of figure drawing books
under the category ART SUPPLIES, 561. It would
probably help also to mention drawing in the
listing rather than or in addition to sketching.

All art instruction books sell very well in
this category. Watercolor books are popular
also.

You will also find books of this kind under nonfiction - Hobby, Crafts. I have sold several in that category.
