After a fantastic visit today with Joshua, Sarah, Mark L., Fred Pittella, and Clyde Lowe,
I found another pitchbook. I was deeply moved when I discovered a rough edition of the Houdini Margery pamphlet, in rough shape, and with no covers. But, when looking the pages looked different. A minor variant, one page has different writing, so not only is there the edition
with copyright on the front and copyright on the rear, now another edition exists. This adds to the fact that even the common books may have variations we need to know about. The gentleman graciously gave this to me as a gift as we left. I'm thrilled and will compare it very carefully when I get home and note the differences to all. Thanks to Arthur Moses for his offer to help.
Tomorrow we see the Gill collection and then some collections in St. Louis on Saturday. Thanks so much to our hosts Joshua and Sarah. I bought several items on the way down, and Fred, Mark, and I are all having a great time. Thanks to all, John

What a great trip you guys are having. Take some good pictures of the Gill collection. How about a photo essay for the website? Joe

Hi John, now I know why you are not answering your phone. Your cuffs are in the mail.

Sounds like you are having the worst time and being bored with too much to see and take photos of.......... I really would have gone in your place and shoulder the burden for you.

have fun

Ian
