QUICK LINKS

This has been an interesting process and no doubt there are many who will disappointed that their favorite was not among those selected by those of you who voted. At the same time, some will be pleased to see that a book they have is on the list. Some observations:
Though rarity can be documented, value is much more subjective and we note that opinions varied among the voters.
Though we provided a brief description of the volumes nominated, we're aware that by definition, the "holy grails" are less known and this no doubt complicated the voting.
Tamara and I did not vote, nor manipulate the list in any way. Although the rankings surprised us a bit, we agreed for the most part.
This should not be construed as the "definitive list". Tamara and I could legitimately add another 40 or 50 and so could many of you. But, it is a popularly selected list and as a result, represents a broad range of views.
We hope you enjoy reviewing the list and seeing these scarce and rare books.
