What book has eluded you the longest?
I've been searching for a copy of "The White Ribbon Boys Of Chester" by
Raymond Sperry Jr. (Stratemeyer Syndicate pseud.) since the late 80s and it has proven extremely elusive. I have yet to see a copy come up on eBay or any other auction site. In fact, I have never personally examined a copy of this book and wouldn't believe it existed if I had not seen photos of it. -- RWF |

I lent my copy of Otto Muehl's "The AA Model" sometime around 1980 and that was the last time I've seen one. (I doubt if it will ever be reprinted and there are probably a good many countries where you could now be locked up for owning it). ============== j-c ====== @ ====== purr . demon . co . uk ============== Jack Campin: 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland | tel 0131 660 4760 http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack/ for CD-ROMs and free | fax 0870 0554 975 stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, & Mac logic fonts | mob 07800 739 557 |

Conklin's mystery anthology, _Great Detective Stories About Doctors_
(Collier 01895, 1965). Never seen a copy, and the one listed at AddAll.com is more than I want to pay. It's the last one I need to have ALL the Conklins in first edition. |

What book has eluded you the longest?
I have all the James Bond novels in first editions (some without
jackets) except the two film novelizations by Christopher Wood, THE SPY WHO LOVED ME and JAMES BOND AND MOONRAKER. There was no U.S. hardback of either, and the British versions must have had very small print runs, as they command fabulous prices. |

What book has eluded you the longest?
I've been lucky in acquiring books I've wanted; but I may have finally
met my match. I have nineteen of the twenty-one volumes of the London 1821 edition of the "Plays and Poems of William Shakspeare... by Edmond Malone," which is known as Boswell's Malone. I'm lacking volumes nine and twenty-one. James Boswell's son published the third variorum edition of Malone's Shakespeare edition, using the Shakespeare papers he had inherited from Malone. best, Jerry Morris I've been searching for a copy of "The White Ribbon Boys Of Chester" by Raymond Sperry Jr. (Stratemeyer Syndicate pseud.) since the late 80s and it has proven extremely elusive.
