My first question is "Can they find and sell me a copy of
Columbia and/or Victor record catalogs from prior to
1912...?!" I know they sell my "Magnum Opus"...my
Record Dating Guide...although it is slightly cheaper to
buy it from Mr. Nauck, who is its current "publisher"...!

My second would be whether buying a copy from one
year will inspire them to offer me other years...?!
