To anyone who doesn't have the first two volumes of HDAS, shame on you.  If
you're gonna antedate, you have to own them.  (and use them--sorry, Wilson!
But, I've forgotten to look, myself)

Volume I is available from the nice folks at Strand.  If I'm not
misremembering, they own the entire remaindered lot of these.  I bought mine
from them a few years ago, when they were about $10.  Now they're $25.
Considering that the book had a retail price of $50, this is still a
bargain. These are new books, just remainders.

It's harder to find Vol. II.  I noticed a SET of I/II available for $70 and
shipping.

Who would have though that Jon Lighter could be bought so cheap?  :)
