Abstract
Imagine a collection of more than 6,000 black and white reproductions — the Victoria and Albert Museum's photographic collection of furniture and woodwork — for less than 3½¢ an image! Or an original study of the architecture of Washington, D. C., with more than 1500 photographs (many unpublished) to illustrate the planning, development, and use of 10 major architectural monuments, for about the same cost! Or a copy of Eric Schmidt's Persepolis I, published in 1953 for $65, complete and unmarked for $11!1 And, if you are a librarian with cramped quarters and heavy demand, or a scholar moving away for a few quiet months of research, imagine that the total shelf or baggage space required is less than an inch for all that material, and that its weight can be measured in ounces!
