Collector Page for Ron Holl
Other Collection Categories and Attributes: Catalogs/Brochures; DJ Only
How I started: I was looking for a nice copy of Six Plays by Kaufman and Hart. I found and bought a beautiful copy with DJ for $2. While reading it I noticed a bunch of numbered titles on the inside of the dust jacket. Research on the "Modern Library" took me to John Krygier's site first, which then took me to Dogeared. I was hooked. A couple months later, I discovered that I had bought an ML 20 years earlier (Poe, 40.1) in a G8 binding! So, did I really start collecting in the 1980's? I collect most types of ML books between 1917-1970, with DJ where applicable. I like the P-Numbered paperbacks, and have now acquired a complete set (all 68, plus 2 color variants). The covers are interesting, and this is the only pre-1970 area to have any math/science titles. I am also attempting to get a complete set of the Boxed Illustrated (all 15). Recently, I have been acquiring post 1970 and MLCE editions of titles not in the classical period (for example T91 Later Plays of O'Neill and Wells/Island of Dr. Moreau).
ML Title Currently Reading: Song of Songs Last ML Title Read: Collected Tales of E M Forster How Many Modern Library books have I read?: 130
In addition to ML titles, I am also currently reading the Jeeves series by P. G. Wodehouse.
