2012 All-Vintage Standard Catalog of BBC

[Rich Klein]

I'm still looking forward to purchsing this work but trust me I understand more than anyone else on this board your frustration

Most of you do not know this; but I felt the exact same way after the 1st volume of the Beckett Almanac was published. I literally almost killed myself or put myself into a sheer exhaustion breakdown for what was, frankly, a book not worth the price.

After that debacle, and trust me that was; there was a lot more corporate support for volume 2 and the result was like night and day and helped make the book what it was until I left Beckett as a full-time employee in 2007.

Bob, always be proud of YOUR work and I empahize and understand how you feel.

I will not reiterate some of my earllier comments but if Bob is disappointed, I'm very upset that he did not feel that his work was represented properly

When I purchase the book, I'll add to one of the two threads, but right now --- let's understand Bob's frustation

Regards
Rich

Bob,
Rich has already said it very well.
You're always top drawer in my thinking.
all the best,

We just got our copies today and to say it's confusing is an understatement. Topps issues are thrown all over the place, not to mention Exhibits being scattered around.

[Bob Lemke]

Rich, Thanks for expressing your understanding. By the way, I have not been associated with Collect.com Auctions for about a year now.

Got mine today and on the good side, the pictures seem clearer and it's visually clearer and easier to read.

Wish I would have read Bob's post a few hours earlier, at which time I ordered my copy from Amazon.

Upon further review, it will take a little while to get used to finding some things, but overall I like the look of it.

The biggest differences I see so far is:

The Topps inserts/test issues are now included alphabetically be name and not by year.

The "E", "T", etc. issues are not lumped together but are listed alphabetically throughout the catalog.

The exhibits are not all grouped together, but are listed alphabetically throughout the catalog.

Just my thoughts
