I&#039;ve managed to track most of them down, but some seem to be more difficult to track down. One was a 1921 Rudyard Kipling Verse Inclusive Edition, 1885-1918. The leather on the leather-bound editions has worn down a bit, but otherwise they are in excellent shape. Anyway, there are a few that I just can&#039;t seem to find any information about – if anyone has any clues, I&#039;d be really grateful!</p><p><br /></p><ol> <li>Thoreau: &quot;An Ideal&quot; - a hardcover with dust jacket that doesn&#039;t have any publisher information other than &quot;Buffalo New York Hayes Lithographing Co.&quot; – <i> I have not found any information or records of this anywhere</i>.</li> <li>Dewey: Abridged Decimal Classification, Edition 3 revised (1926) Forest Press –<i> I just can&#039;t find copies of this anywhere</i></li> <li>William H. Brooker: &quot;Texas: An Epitome of Texas History from the Filibustering and Revolutionary Eras to the Independence of the Republic, From Most Approved Sources.&quot; (1897, Press of Nitschke Brothers, Columbus, OH) – <i>the hard binding says: &quot;A Souvenir. The Alamo, Built 1718.&quot; </i></li> <li>Robert Thorne: &quot;Why, When, and Where: A Dictionary of Rare and Curious Information&quot; (1889) A.L. Burt. <i>There is a reprint from 2017 called &quot;Fugitive Facts: A Dictionary...&quot;, but I have not seen any reference to this text online otherwise.</i></li> </ol><p>In total I managed to pick up 50 books – it&#039;s a beautiful set of volumes that include everything from Balzac to Capote, with some amazing mid-late 19th Century volumes. I&#039;d be happy to discuss others in the collection, but am especially curious about these that I just can&#039;t find anything about.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
