FANTASTIC 1804 DOLLAR FIRST EDITION CENSUS
In the wake of Ken Bressett's recent Asylum article on the
initial printing of "The Fantastic 1804 Dollar" book, a number
of folks have asked about taking a survey of owners of these
scarce versions. Peter Gaspar has agreed to act as a
clearinghouse for the information. He writes: "I'll receive and
compile the information for a census of "The Fantastic 1804
Dollar" first version. What I'd like sent to me is:
1. Name of owner - to be kept confidential if desired, but
needed to make sure that copies aren't counted twice.
2. How did the owner come by his/her copy?
3. How was that copy identified as being of the first issue -
somewhat pedantic, but useful in ensuring that only
copies of the first issue are counted.
4. Description of any special features of that copy such as
authors' inscriptions.
If there is a reasonable amount of information forthcoming, I'll
summarize the results in a note in both versions of the 'sylum.
Identities of owners will not be revealed without permission.
Write to me at gaspar@wuchem.wustl.edu"
