Jack,
I don't have THE answer, but you might contact Ars Libri and see if they
handled it or know about it. Jeff

> Dear All,
> I have a needle-in-a-haystack type of research question
> from one of my architectural history grad students.
> She says,
>
> "I am searching for a particular copy of a particular book
> that has to do with my thesis research.  The book is
> _Byzantine Churches in Constantinople_ by Alexander Van
> Millingen, 1912.  I believe that the copy that was in the
> private collection of architect Bertram G. Goodhue
> had some hand-written notations in it that would be very
> important to me.  I found the reference in a 1961 booklet
> published by an antiquarian bookseller named Bennett &
> Marshall in which Goodhue's private library was for sale
> and the notations are mentioned."
>
> If anyone has record of this copy of this book having come
> to your library, I'd very much appreciate hearing about it.
>
> Thanks
