Summary

The September and November 1960 Beaver Beacon notices describe the last few copies of an unnamed Strang book or reprint, say no more would be printed, and advertise the November price as $7.50 plus 25 cents postage and insurance. The November notice also says each copy was numbered to its owner.

Evidence and limits

The notices do not identify the book, edition, publisher, print run, scarcity count, or whether later copies or reprints existed.

Open questions

  • Which Strang book and edition did the notice mean, and where are surviving copies?
