Quote: I shall lose no time in reading it: antedating (1871) (Gladstone 1897) (Disraeli 1898)

[George Thompson]

The Beinecke is Yale UL's Special Collection, isn't it? Have they put any of their stuff into storage?  But the catalog should say so.  An odd book for someone to steal from a rare book room.

A library's circulating copy of a 1929 book will have long since lost its dustjacket, but there will be special collections focussing on 20th C American lit which have books by Perelman.
If I can believe the NYPL's new catalog, the 42nd street library's Berg Collectino has only one book by Perelman -- I think I don't believe it.
The Fales Library at NYU is a likely place, but the NYU catalog has called in sick this weekend.
