At least he appreciated it and didn’t just throw “those heavy old books” away!

Yesterday, I attended church at one of the local wards. The HP group instructor started out by saying that his family was cleaning out their garage the day before and he discovered something that apparently had belonged to his wife’s father that he didn’t realize they had: “It’s a ‘Comprehensive History of the Church’ by B. H. Roberts.” He held up the volume — and there was color embossing on the front cover. I also noticed that the volume size was larger than the 1965 set I had bought back in high school (and which my former wife now has).

When class was over, I went up and asked to look at it. It was in wonderful, almost pristine condition and the copyright date was 1930. It was only on walking out that I realized that it could well be a first edition set. I’m not sure that I have in my entire life felt such coveting towards anything. I told him that if he ever wanted to sell the set, I would buy it from him (assuming I could afford it), but he had no interest in selling it.

Sigh. ..bruce..

Parshall Fri, 15 May 2009 21:21:05 +0000 http://www.keepapitchinin.org/?p=1899#comment-10879 I’m guessing they’re Anderson’s by the date coming so soon after his eastern trip, but otherwise have no information. Don’t know what they would go for today, but you could almost certainly recoup your money if you could stash a few sets away …

What would a first edition Talmage go for today?
