HENRY MILLER COLLECTION REPRINT OFFERED

On offer are unbound reprints, with photographic plates
The image below is of the 1992 bound version

After an example appeared in the recent Kolbe-Fanning auction, I've gotten a few inquiries about a reprint I did nearly a quarter century ago for Thomas Elder's May, 1920 sale of the Henry Miller collection, which was superb in English, Roman and most important for US colonials. The reprint contains the entire text of the catalogue, 2212 lots on 154 pages, as well as the Prices Realized list and the bid sheet. There are 28 photographic plates, slightly reduced from the originals, but of really good quality, taken from a mint condition copy that had sat in the box it was mailed in and unopened since! These are actual photographic plates (from back in the days before digital photography!), not screened and printed plates, which means a glass will let you magnify the images without them breaking up into dots.

In checking my shelves, I noticed that I had five unbound sets left -- the full text and all 28 plates. The plates are untrimmed. The reprint, following the original, was bound in black cloth with the title in gilt; these are loose but will allow a collector to bind them either as the originals or to match any plated Elders they may already have in their library. These cost about $250 each to produce and mail -- and that was in 1992 dollars! If there are collectors in these areas who are interested in a set -- and don't want to pay the $5,000 or so that an original plated Miller would bring -- I will offer these last five at $125 each, postpaid. There will be no additional copies produced. I can be reached at   rosaamltd@gmail.com .
