Freddie, I believe Barry was referring to the _original_ doc owners and not the current consignor... Please show respect. Thanks
FWIW, I entered the NYPL two years ago to peruse some of these old documents and was troubled to hear from the clerk, "Many items have been stolen over the years and no longer available for handling or viewing".
I would have to return when the collection would be displayed months later, and the window was just for a few days.
Im not an executioner, but these greedy pantloads should be strung up by there cajones.
My question, Where in the heck is Bookman when you need him?!
