2011 Standard Catalog in hand

[ethicsprof]

As an editor of several volumes in the areas of psychoanalysis and ethics
(much less interesting than your work!!), I must say how impressed with how
self-critical you are in analyzing your own efforts. Most of the folks in my
field,including myself, tend to be perennially thin-skinned and seldom self-critical.
I,for one, applaud you for your critique and am quite pleased to see you back at the reins of this difficult yet most needed work. I am also pleased to hear that you will continue to have the reins in 2012.
Dave has a great idea in getting a number of us to help with editing of sections. I would be glad to help and I'm sure others would be eager as well.

Again, congratulations on the volume. I will certainly get one and will be
especially pleased to see the name Lemke in bold print.

all the best,
barry

I wasn't planning on purchasing the 2011 issue, but I am pleased to see that the 2001 and newer section has been restored and I won't need to mess around with the CD. It looks like I will be ordering the 2011.

Thanks for listening to the feedback from customers.

Any assistance that forum participants can provide will be gratefully accepted.

Many of the errors, typos, etc., in the 2011 edition are embarrassingly glaring and are the unfortunate result of providing my input to the book at arm's-length, rather than in-house.

I'm working with the staff to improve my communications and expect that the 2012 book will be a much cleaner presentation. There will again be sets added to the vintage sections, as well as additions, corrections, clarifications to existing listings.

While I don't have specific deadline information yet, I expect that Dave's estimate of early Feburary is accurate.

I do appreciate that so many veteran collectors take a proprietary interest in the Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards and that I am merely a front man for much of that effort. Keep up the good work!

Question - Has the CD version of the catalog been eliminated with the 2011 edition?
