The one piece of information that is missing here is the date of
publication. There is a BIG difference in value between an original
edition of Dunham published by B&T and one published in India as a
reprint.
It's been a while since I saw Greg's library, but I recall many
original volumes.
One should keep in Mind that when is says:
"The Concordance Repertory of the Materia Medica by William D. Gentry, M.D. (6
copies)" We are talking about six VOLUMES of a single title, not six
copies of the work (which was a six volume set).
But when it says: "Lectures on Homoeopathic Philosophy, by James
Tyler Kent, M.D. (3 copies, one rebound)" We are looking at THREE
copies of a single title.
I believe that the Hering Guiding Symptoms was an original set with
one volume missing (it says "9 copies" and the full set had 10
volumes)
A book like Bradford's Homeopathic Bibliography is VERY RARE. In have
seen only a few for sale in the last 20 years. The last one I saw was
going for about $800.
This is an amazing collection that contains many original volumes.
