This year’s book list includes a number of important and desirable items. The minimum bids have
been kept very low, considering the scarcity of some items and the cost of others which still might
be in print. While bargains are indeed possible, I’d suggest, as usual, to bid realistically for those
items of particular interest. Bids of any amount are, of course, welcomed.
