Er, exactly. One is the destruction of not books, but records, and the second is someone having problems buying exact copies of the exact printings that Thomas Jefferson had. There's nothing in the second article to say, of the 297 copies they don't, how many they have either a comparable early edition, or microfilm or microprint or photocopy of a comparable early edition. As they say towards the end of the article, some of them might not even exist at all, or be parts of other works that they and everyone else has copies of. -- Kie ekzistas vivo, ekzistas espero. _______________________________________________ gutvol-d mailing list gutvol-d@lists.pglaf.org http://lists.pglaf.org/mailman/listinfo/gutvol-d
