[ModLib] FOR JOE HILL REGARDING COLLECTIONS

[John Wolansky]

Joe, I believe you had correspondence with TS, and I had the good fortune to
recently view TS's collection of EL, a complete collection, every "frickin"
one, and probably most in multiple jackets.  It was as fine a collection of
any series as can be found and I was embarrassed by the size and quality of
mine in comparison, which I previously shelved for his examination.  I
collect most ML items, giants, illustrated, ephemera, etc., and there was
not a single item I asked to see in the EL series he did not have, no to
mention the numerous items he showed me I did not know existed.  I am
tempted to offer him the two or three items he had an interest in from my
collection out of homage!

 

John

Yeah. Of course, LLL and LBB were really quite different series promoted by
different folks. I like the LBB because they're numbered, they have some
REALLY weird titles, and there are so many of them to collect!!!

 

Hmm -- do I smell another website???
