View the "holy grails" of SpaceBooks in two Top 20
lists (as selected by public poll):
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.
