A description of this material has been posted to the ABAA Stolen and Missing Archives. The Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America created, in 2003, an online database of this type of material so that dealers, collectors and libraries could efficiently disseminate information about their losses and concerned potential buyers could determine if an item has been reported missing. This is a free service. Anyone interested in looking at the current listings in this archive can go to www.abaa.org/index.html where, midway down the page is The ABAA Stolen and Missing Books Database. To report stolen material contact Ken Sanders who chairs the ABAA Security Committee. Reach him at ken@dreamgarden.com.

Anyone with specific knowledge of the whereabouts of this missing material is encouraged to contact this email address.noquestionsasked@americanaexchange.com As Peter Lorre said in the Maltese Falcon, "I am prepared to pay five thousand dollars for the figure's return. Do you have it?"

And as Woody Allan has reminded us, "It seemed the world was divided into good and bad people. The good ones sleep better... while the bad ones seemed to enjoy the waking hours much more." Dr. Milan won't sleep well until his treasures come home. He's waiting for an email.
