I found a booklet in my library titled;
Mysto a Conflict of Dreams by Nelson C. Nicholson. Softcover with 59 pages describing how the company got started, the Gilbertand Petrie partnership, the many magic sets they manufactured as well as some nice photos of a few Mysto collectible magic items.
My question is I cannot find any info on this book, I am interested in selling it but have no idea as to its value. Anyone know anything about it?

I think Nelson still lives in Conn. He used to come down for the Swann auctions every year, but I haven't gone to the last two, so I don't know if he still does.

I don't know a value. He may even have some copies left. I don't have his contact info, but someone should.

I'll probably see Nelson in Louisville or in Westborough. E-mail me right before the combined convention or NEMCA, and I'll try to remember to ask him.

Richard let me know that his 2 remaining copies were sold and he has no more. He stated the reason they probably sold was my post. Hopefully now mine is a rare OOP.

You found it in your library? And you are selling it? I am confused...
If you ever get to a point where words have no meaning, you're probably talking to a dog.

Doomo:

I think Rennie is referring to his own personal library. Sometimes we have things in our personal libraries that we either bought as part of a package deal or that we acquired a while back and forgot about them.
