Earlier this week Gabe Konrad published his new PDF bookplate catalog with many reasonably priced items, Everything is subject to prior sale and yesterday Gabe sent me this update:
"Well, I sold more than I expected.
Sold are number 1, 2,
4, 6, 7, 10, 12, 16*, 18, 23, 30, 31, 33, 34, and 45.
There are still 30 items available"
Note from Lew
*I purchased item 16. The Roy Martins. Cipher of an unknown designer. 63mm x 102mm. .
Does anyone recognize the artist's cipher?

The Autumn 1991 issue of Virginia Cavalcade has a ten page well illustrated article about him . written by
Stacy Gibbons Moore and Edward D.C. Campbell,Jr..
You may still be able to purchase this issue .
