assistant: *** Whilest on deathbed, Bud Webster whispered to Jamie Kowinsky
*** The above occured on 04-20-97
At my college, we have some really old books in the library (1700's) and they
have rope in the spines of the book.  The ropes are usually in tripples and
seam to go from the front cover to the back.  Even books dated in the late
1800's have this feature.  I thought this is how earily books were bound.
perhaps then these books have rope in addition to glue.
I am not a book collector or know much about the history.
*** Whilest on deathbed, Bud Webster whispered to Jamie Kowinsky
*** The above occured on 04-20-97
One of the books has a copyright date of 1921.  So would this be a later of
the series or is this about the begining?  I have about 20 of these little
books and the one is the only one with a copyrigth date.
When these were bought the saleslady was claiming eairly 1800's but after
looking at the books i thought they had to be much more recent.
Any tips or clues on how to tell when a book is written?
thanks for all the info

Complete press package for a movie that never made it to the big screen
or a little one as far as I know.
Dead Men Don't Die, with Elliot Gould, Mabel King, and some others I
forget. I have color and black and white publicity photos, info sheets,
stars biographys, etc. and two copys of the movie, still in the film
labs cases, both VHS, one Stereo one Mono, both are "press lab copys"
no producers banners or time clock on film, clear full picture.
make offer one one or all.
Will consider trades for, Terrytoons, the Original from the 50's, the

There were, as far as I remember,
Might Mouse, Heckle and Jeckle, Gandy Goose, Deputy Dawg, etc.
Some really Rare ones were, Sydney the Elephant, James Hound and some
others I forgot. Any format will do, execpt the old Tecnicolor super 8

technicolor projectors they had made for them.
