Thread Name: Where Are The Buckrum Books? From: goodbooks at webtv.net ((JOSEPH HILL) Date: Thu May 17 22:10:39 2007 It is a puzzle to me that after so many years we still cannot account for some 175 titles I realize that they are not that common...but, still after all this time.. I have only sixty titles in my own private collection and I have been collecting ML's for some time . Boy, they sure look great lined up on shelves; what a prize to have a complete set!!! Henry and I scouted a dozen buckrams in a store some years ago (we split hem 6 &6) I have never found a cash like that again. ------------------------------------- From: kamins at ModernLib.com ((Scot Kamins) Date: Fri May 18 00:30:01 2007 Yeah, I agree, Joe. I love the way my buckrams look on the shelf. I guess they went to public & college libraries, and that's where they stayed. ------------------------------------- From: modlib at alltel.net ((Ron Holl) Date: Sun May 20 09:24:33 2007 Does this 175 value come from the total number of titles available in the 60's, less the number of known buckrams? In other words, if every title in the regular format had been produced in the buckram format also? ------------------------------------- From: goodbooks at webtv.net ((JOSEPH HILL) Date: Sun May 20 11:52:18 2007 I am using the last reported sightings as given by Scot, as of April 15th. See Buckrum Bindings- -------------------------------------
