They promise both Bull Runs and a second Petersburg volume, but no projected schedule.

Some of those were also from India, but several were from the UK, Canada, or even the USA.<br /><br />When I did get to the 1910 edition, holy ---the cheapest was north of $300, and one was nearly $1,000.Jim Eppersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12896759856079539599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16471073.post-84881874423282562342017-05-03T12:20:36.981-07:002017-05-03T12:20:36.981-07:00I miss that series.

The western-themed anthology series from SIUP has an ambitious schedule that they seem to be rolling out at a snail's pace.DW@CWBAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00018056113264346047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16471073.post-52338054546431595682017-05-03T12:18:27.837-07:002017-05-03T12:18:27.837-07:00Unfortunately, many outfits that do dreadful photo...Unfortunately, many outfits that do dreadful photocopy-quality reprints of old books (defects, markings, and all) have popped up. It's been a problem of sorts on Amazon for quite a while, where they take over search rank and even attempt to co-opt existing listings.

Someone has done a 2017 re-print, and the book price is very reasonable, but they are all in India! WTH?

Bigelow's book has always fit in a special category which includes Teddy Roosevelt's book on the naval war of 1812. You can't necessarily judge a book by its shelf life date.
