Notes Lizzie Borden Society Forum member, book collector, and author Michael Brimbau, on the six Maplecroft estate books up for sale on eBay this week: “Too bad the Lizzie books up for bid are not books of value in their own right or an author of interest or desirability such as Poe, Twain or even one of the great poets. Without the Lizzie connections they would be almost valueless and if seen in a used book store would sell for no more than 5 to 15 dollars. A first edition of Kipling’s Captains Courageous with Lizzie’s initials and name plate: now would that not be a treat, huh?”
Indeed, Michael, indeed.
