Another hidden gem of this find is that it was addressed to Ray Hess, a longtime Southern California collector / dealer and great guy to deal with. I reconnected with Ray about 15 years ago and he sent me up a box of hobby literature / research to go through. I bought from Ray in the 70's at California shows (both Southern & Northern) and he always treated me and other 'kids' (at the time) with respect

Right, Mark. The whole collection of things was all Ray's stuff. Small world: I moved to California in 1991 for my company, and I moved to Palmdale

Superb pickup-can't say I am familiar with the Medeiros tome either.

Are you collecting CCB's? I debated doing so at one point but it's a long, hard road!

No, but after reading so many of the ones Leon posted, I thought they were cool. This one was in the lot I purchased, so I guess just a bonus for me

to get my hands on an original Horne book

I found this advertisement in one of the publications I bought, thought it was cool so I would share where Egan was advertising his book for sale for $1
