Talking about American Card Catalogs

[Leon]

Dave- I just checked again. My blue hardback, like the one listed in the auction (I think), is dated 1960. I use the green copy one every day and it is dated 1988.

I will have to check that other question....not sure.

aha....I see the one listed on ebay is a soft cover. It probably is a 1967 then. It's confusing as the 1960 hard cover edition has a book cover that looks exactly like that 1967 reprint.

That makes a lot of sense, the reprint would have replicated the 60 bookcover.

My 1960 has the book cover and has "American Card Catalog" on the spine of the book cover (not on the book itself). If you look at the one on ebay it has that and also "Nostalgia Press"....which of course the original doesn't have. Now, since I have added all of this rubbish to this thread I am going to dig out something real neat, and post it, to make up for it .

While we wait Leon, I goggled Detroit Publishing and they look to have printed in excess of 14,500 postcards, many in full, glorious photographic color and starting in 1898.. NY Public Librrey has a huge collection of them. Burdick's original guide came out in 1954, the supplement (32 pages) followed in '55.
