2012 Standard Catalog For Vintage Only

[Rich Klein]

1) Alan -- that is correct for a majority of users of this board as well as show dealers; but as I pointed out and Bob agreed; the vast majorities of users of this book are not like you and me but of the more modern realm.

(I also pointed out that I hope F&W has a major success with this book -- but based on MY experience at Beckett with the Almanac I have some serious doubts that there will be large amounts of monies made at $29.95. I would have kept the price point where it was and threw in everything with the kitchen sink when it came to pre-1981 materials.)

2) I think Bob has it correct; this may be the last print edition before next year going to a completly on-line version. No one loves print more than I do; but print is no longer part of our future. Bob correctly pointed out the difficulties of the Borders chain.

Yes, I will buy a book -- but to keep this book alive -- be prepared to pay more monies in the future.
