Dear All,
After Harrison Horblit's death in 1988, the remaining stock of his
Collation Computer came to the Grolier Club, along with his splendid
collection of books and manuscripts on the 19th century bibliomaniac Sir
Thomas Phillipps. It is indeed a wonderful gadget, and quite useful.
I truly don't mean this to sound like an ad, but the Grolier Club *does*
have the Bibliographic Collation Computer for sale, and anyone interested
in at least learning what they look like may visit:

Cheers,
Eric Holzenberg
