As an erstwhile artist I've always been captivated by the ep's I've encountered lo these 37 years as a bookdealer, but few dealers or collectors I've met cared much about anything but the rarest and most special. When I stumbled on Mr. Beattie's FB site I was thrilled to see the serious interest they deserve, it is one of the very few book sites I regularly visit. My problem with contributing some of mine there is I have no camera that does justice to them, and many ep's can't be scanned without cracking the hinge or causing binding stress, something I'm genetically incapable of doing.
