For this he was presented with one of the 300 copies of the "The Heart of the Antarctic" volumes, signed by Shackleton himself. Unfortunately, somewhere along the way the thin, third book has got lost and I only have volumes one and two. Does anybody out there happen to have this third volume or know where I might find one???? My Great Grandfather was George Philip Doolette who helped finance Shackletons second antarctic expedition.

The books are in reasonably good condition. Are they worth anything? I am not going to sell until I read them as the Civil War has been an interest of mine for 50 years. Indeed, an unusual and interesting find. Michael Kohler I just found a full set of “A Photographic History Of The Civil War” (in 10 volumns) in some books left me by a late uncle.

]]> Comment on Emily Dickinson – Poems by Jason Whiston http://rarebookfinds.com/2007/07/13/emily-dickinson-poems/comment-page-1/#comment-13808 Jason Whiston Wed, 07 Jan 2009 05:00:48 +0000 http://rarebookfinds.com/2007/07/13/emily-dickinson-poems/#comment-13808 I am looking for whatever you might have in Emily Dickinson. I know a children's literature teacher whose classes I took in college. She is now retiring, and I thought it would be a good present for her to show her my appreciation for inflaming a desire in me to read. If you do have something, would you tell me how much it would cost? She is a very special teacher to me, and I wanted to give her something tangible to show her my intense appreciation.
