What do you do
What do you do when you acquire a book and find it is totally
lacking in publication information? Not as in the page is missing, but as in it was never there. And there are NO hits on google. Is there any other secret to identify books that only have a title? I am speaking of books that probably date back to the late 1870s-1899 or so. Thanks. -- Jean B. |

Karlsruher Virtueller Katalog, which searches the world's biggest libraries http://www.ubka.uni-karlsruhe.de/hylib/en/kvk.html I trust you have tried http:\\used.addall.com -- Francis A.

I will try those. Maybe I'll get lucky. I sure wouldn't have though of addall. (Will I also get into significant trouble there?) -- Jean B. |
