Some cool historic political items up for sale on Ebay

[Dover]

Would make a nice gift. I do wonder sometimes about all these treasures being sold into private collections, some never to be heard of again.

1. I tell you some of the stuff

I have in my personal library belongs in a public library

Once we are able to get that stuff out of storage, one of these centuries, I will probably take them down to SDSu to the rare book collection.

Assuming they even realize what I got my hands on while writing my thesis, from a private used book vendor in Mexico City of all places

2. Well now I'm curious............are ya just gonna tease us like that?

Glad to hear they'll see the light of day at some point. I'm sure you'll find a good home for them.

4. They are rare books on Fray Servando

and it is not that I have to see the light, the local rare books collection didn't back when I was in college and offered to gift them to them, so they have been traveling with me all these yeas.

They are first edition Porrua and from what I know one of three copies in the world, and I did not even know that when I snagged them at the book fair. I tell you if I wasn't doing a thesis, I'd would have passed them

Will make a second attempt

3. Wonder if GWB will buy that Constitution so he can hide it.
