Odd Volumes Redux
A year or two ago I picked up volumes 2 through 5 of the first edition
of Washington Irving's _Life of George Washington_ (Putnam, 1855-59). As with other incomplete sets, I thought to myself, "I will spend the rest of my life looking for the first volume." This week, I found volume 1, not the 1855 printing, unfortunately, but the 1860 one at least. It is a little shorter in height than the first edition, but at least the set now has each volume. Remarkably, all are in very good condition. Francis A. Miniter |

But those that remain are pretty much ignored, and their ongoing needs remain unaddressed. -- |
