    COLLECTORS AS CURATORS

    Dave Bowers notes correctly that "Sometimes materials suffer
    when being held by institutions. I recall visiting the NY Public
    Library to review their periodicals in the 1970s, and ALL of the
    Norman Rockwell covers on their Saturday Evening Posts had
    been razored out. Probably if they had been in private hands,
    this would not have happened.

    Often, a private person is a better custodian than is an institution.

    I could tell many stories about such things, as I have been buying
    deaccessioned periodicals for many years."
