I still need a 1947 second printing, and five of the special overprint editions. Just haven't found available copies and the money for them at the same time.

Most of my collection came fron Frank so if anyone is looking for copies I' recommend sending Frank a PM.

 

you really need this:

 

or the leather edition:



clearer picture:

 

I may in fact need this one...

Just curious, why brown?

 

Cool collection Frank. Did they make the Blue book before the Red? The only old ones I have are the Blue 1961 Eighteenth and the Red 1963 16th.

 

It was a limited edition, 500 copies in leather binding.

 

yes, the Blue Book was first issued in 1942.

The Red Book was planned for 1943, but a little event, WWII, delayed printing due to paper shortages.

The blue book is neat, since there are two editions with overprints on the cover and one that was issued in a black cover, due to shortages in materials.

 

Ok, that makes sense.

 

Let me know!



And, thanks for the note.
