They turn up on ebay and > abebooks.com now and then. I found two copies of Lecky's "Wrinkles" in a bookstore in Vancouver, BC a couple of years ago. One was from the 19th century, and the other was the 22nd Edition from 1942. If I recall correctly, the asking price was $120 Canadian for the older edition, and $40 Canadian for the more recent edition. I compared the two and concluded that the 1942 edition included substantially everything from the earlier edition, plus some additions. I bought the 1942 edition. I guess I didn't get as good a deal as Frank did. Chuck Taylor N 48 d W 122 d ____________________________________________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
