To Collect a Rare Book

Many people compile words into great readings and we call them books! Over the years, I've managed(?) to amass a small collection of them. When a person decides to down-size, that person makes a list and presents an opportunity for others to own these that are becoming more difficult to find. I will gladly send a copy of the list to anyone interested. The list includes, but is not limited to the likes of: Stephen Foster, Chas. Dickens, Bronte, Victor Hugo, Melville, Noyes, Wells, De Maupassant, O. Henry, Cooper, Grey, Dumas, Steinbeck, Kipling, Austen, Poe and Gann. Copyright dates range from 1881-1962 and there are some that do not show a date. Some have dust jackets, some are 1st issue and 1 or 2 are signed. Quality ranges anywhere from quite nice to "Who did this?" I think I saved a few from the dumpster, even though they'll never get into the Smithsonian. Please contact me at the alternate of bbobjay@ameritech.net. Happy reading!
