Jerry Morris reply to me some time ago.
Sorry Jerry I don't get back here very often. Thank you for your nice
note. Your collecting pattern, including bibliographies is sure to be one which could be helpful to many serious young collectors. You have so much easy information at home, I have seen you help the pros[librarians, that is]. I went to the Hyde viewing and did not bid at the sale. My collection was garnered in bargain hunts in Japan before 1981 and by mail starting in 1964-in Japanese only. All Japanese catalogs used to be only in Japanese, and I managed to order from the first one I got, because I knew the characters for many of the book I wanted, and they were under art in the catalog. By my standards at that time, the Hyde prices were high. Little did I know how high prices would be getting. In those days I could find things for cheap in Used and rare bookshops in the US, too. I used to get one good book every summer in Vermont. Now I can still get good things from time to time below Japanese high end dealer market cost. But not with wild success. I would be glad to give up that collection, but my wife has been saying no, as I said before. I think it would be a good idea, because otherwise I am tempted to over pay-that is buy at true retail. Best, Gabriel |
