Your "Yankee Clipper" clippings are a real treasure.

[@leegoulter514]

Oh, dear! I'm actually old enough to remember telephone party lines! I was able to get the first two volumes of "Hours In A Library" for free on Kindle, and "The Pity of War" for just $3.99. It's not the Brattle nor the Yankee Clipper, but I takes what I can get! Thanks for sharing, Steve.

Excellent haul. How great to it must be to go through those clippings. I’ll need to look into The World of Herodotus.

[@hill7912A]

LOL that is the exact edition I had when I was reading the Shannara series when they came out. Remember them well :)

[@DuncanMcCurdie]

I think there were 6 books in the Alex Plumtree series. Had they been published now they probably would have gone on as long as the author wanted to write them.

[@marcusmusings]

yeah, only 6

[@andrewmackenna568]

Fascinating as always, thank you Steve. I was wondering if the staff at the Brattle are able to tell you any details about where the 'Yankee-Clipper' collection came from? (Is it only luck that they haven't fallen out and been lost while being thumbed at the Brattle?).
I collect and insert clippings too, but I like to preserve them in clear-plastic A4 binder pockets or thin plastic bag.
I hope the Brattle isn't separating collected volumes (Stephen and Durant)!
I found The Folio Society, boxed 3 volume, Hours in a Library by Leslie Stephen second-hand.
Good condition all those. I sympathize with bookcase and shelf space struggle!

Can't wait for tomorrow's Brattle book haul!

[@jackohara8993]

I know what a telephone is, DUDE. They’re in Mad Men …

[@saintdonoghue]

Hah! Mad Men! I forgot about that -

[@jackohara8993]

@@saintdonoghue yes they were cast in a supporting role remember, alongside the lead which was played brilliantly by cigarettes in a dominate, screen-stealing performance

[@MarilynMayaMendoza]

I love bookish mysteries. I also like literary mysteries like those by Tana French.

[@jimsbooksreadingandstuff]

...and now we have the books about books Jenga shelf....

[@gaildoughty6799]

I think The Yankee Clipper of the Brattle is your psychic twin.

[@saintdonoghue]

Psychic twin would be a better explanation than the one floated by another person: that the Yankee Clipper is ME, displaced just a fraction of a quantum ...

"Back in my day telephones had wires"

[@saintdonoghue]

Hah! Well, I always feel like I need to explain land-line telephones!

[@booknikYT]

Were those weird telephones like 3G or sumthin?
