Dear Nancy,                     January 5, 1998

Regarding your set of "Recent Ideals of American Art", 1888, you might try
contacting the rare book room at Powell's Book Store in Portland, Oregon. I
think they would be happy to help you figure out a value. I live here in
Portland and apparently they are the largest book store in the country.

Good luck,

>In doing our trimester break clean-up, I discovered _Recent Ideals of

>x 320 cm.  Text by George William Sheldon.  This is a collection,
>complete with slipcase, which came out in serial form, of 175 oils and
>watercolor paintings reproduced in Paris on copper plates by the Goupil
>Photogravure and Typogravure processes.  The covers of each of the 25
>sections are slightly foxed, and three pages of text are missing,
>otherwise the collection is in good condition.
