<p>[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 8222793, member: 101855"]I don't buy old auction catalogs any more because most of the information in them is now on line, at least for the major auction houses. They take up a lot of storage room and are a bear to catalog so that you can find them. If you kept everything from Heritage, you would have a warehouse filled in a couple years given the number of sales they have. </p><p><br /></p><p>I do have some old auction catalogs in my library. I bought a collector - dealer's library many years ago which included hard cover copies of the Eliasberg, Norweb and Garett sales. The Eliasberg sales were especially good because of the completeness of the collection and the "Dave Bowers Auction House Write-ups." I was recently amazed when I found a great deal of information for an article that I was writing in an Eliasberg sale catalog.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
