On Laura James’ blog called CLEWS: The Historic True Crime Blog (linked to on the sidebar on the right) is a post about a private book sale. Appropriately, 92 items are for sale, all from the library of Ken Souza, former editor of the LBQ.
Hey fans, there is a first edition of Porter in this lot for $750. Not that bad a price for the condition of VG. Rebello is going for $125. The Proceedings, $165. Knowlton Papers, $350!
Definitely check this one out!
Here is a quote from her site:
Dunn and Powell Books is pleased to offer a short catalogue devoted to one of the most famous of all unsolved crimes: The Lizzie Borden Case. Most of the 92 items in the list are from the library of Ken Souza, former editor of THE LIZZIE BORDEN QUARTERLY. Highlights include a first edition of the rare THE FALL RIVER TRAGEDY by Edwin Porter (Lizzie Borden is reputed to have attempted to purchase and destroy all copies of this book) and a libretto of the opera “Lizzie Borden” signed by the composer Jack Beeson.

Thank you and good hunting, Steve Powell and William Dunn
Kewl! I see a couple I want! Too bad my birthday has passed and Christmas is 6 months away. I guess I will have to do what I always do, treat myself.
