INQUIRIES FROM DAN GOSLING

Dan Gosling forwarded a set of inquiries on several
topics. I'll save some for next week but get the ball
rolling with these two. Comments, anyone?

"(Item 1): I would like some help with the
best approach to use after acquiring old original books
or journals.

If the binding is in poor shape is it better to have it rebound
or retain the original binding? What if only one edition out
of a set is damaged? Rebinding will change the appearance
of the whole set. The original binding is part of the 'heritage'
of the item and will be lost in the process.

"(Item 2): When visiting libraries for extended research, are
there any suggestions for reducing the cost of local
accommodations? Are there dormitories at area universities?
How can someone find local numismatists that would be willing
and able to provide room and board? Are there businesses
that list opportunities for "house sitting" the homes of local
people on holiday? Are there list available of senior hostels?
Any other thoughts and ideas for extended stays?"
