WAYTE RAYMOND STANDARD CATALOGUE INFORMATION SOUGHT

Dave Bowers forwarded the following query from Ron Pope, who writes:
"I read with interest a recent article in 'Coin World' wherein you
mention the old 'Standard Catalogue' by Wayte Raymond.

"I like non-traditional stuff. Therefore, instead of trying to assemble
a complete of 'Red Books,' I am trying to obtain a complete set of the
'Standard Catalogue,' a task I believe to be more difficult to achieve
than the 'Red Book.'

"Can you give me any information on the start and end (1st edition-last
edition, etc) of this book? I always thought the 18th edition (1957) was
the last edition but I believe you mentioned a 1958 edition. Also, were
the first two editions (1934 and 1935) in paperback?  Thanks for any help
you may be able to give me."

[For a long time I worked on completing a set of these myself, and had
a very nice group of top-condition volumes, some of which were from the
James O. Sloss library.  But with my last house move I ran out of space
and sold them in a Lake Books sale.  Since I'm away from my library I
don't have access to my bibliographic references - can anyone fill us
in on what constitutes a complete set?  -Editor]
