As a small publisher of fine press books (throwing my two cents into the fray),
and a reader of the list for some years, I too am distressed at this new turn
of events. We who buck the system, and continue to produce editions of
quality...fighting to make it financially worthwhile, rely on venues such as
Exlibirs for access to appreciative collectors. It has been a pleasure to
"listen" to the variety of discourse this list has provided, and it is sad to
anticipate the possibility of losing an important part of it.
