Now Here's a Collectible Proof!
In the debate over the collectibility of proofs and other advanced

Ever get that feeling that if you HAD that
kind of money, you wouldn't have to think twice? UGH. ME WANT. But what with Social Security getting attacked, I guess I'd better hold on to BOTH dollars in my savings account right now. --Dave Conford |

We had the page proofs of William Strunk's Elements of Style (the original 1918
pamphlet) earlier this year, with a few pencil corrections. That was exciting. This is downright boggling. Thanks for the link, William. Bob Print Matters! Used & Rare Books http://www.abebooks.com/home/printmat |

Follow up to the Hawthorne proof sale:
It went for $545,000 (including bidder's premium)--well over the high estimate of $300,000--to The Nineteenth Century Shop in Baltimore, with the University of Virginia as underbidder: http://www.metrowestdailynews.com/lo...rticleid=85527 My brother used to live 6 blocks from The Nineteenth Century Shop in Southwest Baltimore (SoWeBo), so I stopped in once (having seen their ad in BIBLIO) and was treated rather snippily. I do, after all, collect 19/c Catholic convert literature--in fact, I would go so far as to say I have the best collection of such material in private hands. But no matter--who wants to pay their prices anyway? William M. Klimon http://www.catholicbookcollector.com |

That is indeed a nice proof. My favorite is still Tolkien's marked-up proof
of Fellowship. Saw it a couple decades ago for (IIRC) $100K, only a little surprised (but pleased) not to see it on Ebay when the movie came out. ---Mike "William M.
