The
Availability of the
Zamorano 80
George Boeck
The Zamarano Club's description of the
Zamarano 80 observes
that 'it has been very difficult to obtain all eighty titles'.
Only slightly more than half of the Zamorano 80 were available for sale
as first editions in
October 2010.
Most of these cost between $200 and $500, although several
cost thousands. On
the other hand, 70 of the titles were available
in modern
form.
Sixty-five could be purchased as inexpensive, current
editions.
Seventy-one of the titles were in electronic form and free
for the taking. The publishers of in-print editions and links to
on-line editions are inserted into the list printed below.
Thirty-five publishers of printed editions were represented, but only
six
offered more than
one
or two titles. Of the titles on-line, 55 were images of the first or an
early edition;
almost
all of these were found on Google Books. Seven titles are
only
available on-line.
In the Zamorano list below, publishers of in-print editions are named
and links to on-line editions are provided. Obviously,
the preferred on-line edition is the first. Sadly,
THE
ZAMORANO 80 itself is not available on-line.
The following titles were not available in modern print editions or
on-line:
