A colleague of mine, Bob Aldwinckle, is retiring in Canada and selling part
of his library. As he has a good VN collection, I suggested that he let me
air his list, and here it is. To avoid descriptions, I supplied Bob's list
with Juliar's coding (and an occasional commentary). Inquiries should be
sent to me. Prices are in US$, "relatively firm" (probably rather low in
many cases, as far as I can tell -- I haven;t checked lately, but I do know
that the 1st Lolita, for example, fetched last year $2,500, and that
probably no pre-MacGrawHill 1st edition is less than $75 nowadays and some
many times more). Unless otherwise noted, all are American editions.
