<p>[QUOTE=&quot;d_lairson, post: 336148, member: 8441&quot;]I&#039;ve been looking at some mail-bid auctions and online used book stores recently (I check the online stores every couple of weeks to see if something I want has come in) I for some reason I have noticed a rash of facsimile copies of older, scarce books for sale. I would not be surprised to see something like this on eBay, but I have seen copies in two well known mail-bid auctions and a couple of high end used book stores. We are talking about books from the 20&#039;s and 30&#039;s so I do not know if the copyright has run out or not, but one of the &quot;books&quot; was a copy of the first edition of &quot;penny whimsy&quot; which I think is now owned by Whitman Publishing. </p><p><br /></p><p>Is this common in the rare book world? It just seems a little strange to me. </p><p><br /></p><p>Cheers,</p><p>David[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
