Steve, thanks so much for your encouragement. By the way, for libraries and institutes who want to order a set, I'm willing to mail a set with an invoice enclosed, if Paypal is unavailable for you. I have never found the first volume from 1903 (I asked Tim Brooks and he wasn't aware of any copies either, and neither does Allen Koenigsberg). According to the January 1904 issue, they said the printing was moving from Denver, Colorado to New York. I suppose it was just a small, local publication in Denver before Columbia took it over as their house organ for all dealers, but that's just my guess. I have photocopies of every issue up to May 1917, which I believe was the last one. The last volume at the New York Public Library has a typewritten note inserted that says: "Ceased publication. Publisher (Aug. 1917)." If there were June, July and August issues, why aren't they in the rest of the volume? Tim and I think they're referring to a letter from the publisher to NYPL dated August 6th. And yes, I've included the small fold outs (Russian and Japanese records are two that come to mind) and the order forms. -Ryan > Date: Tue, 13 Nov 2012 18:44:55 -0500
