>A little bit about me:
>
>I am a huge Montgomery Clift fan, and lovingly collected these items
>over the years from Ebay, fellow fans (in the fan club) and in pawn
>shops. I was a library technician for many years, and took pains to
>cover and restore many of the books. The paperbacks have been
>repaired and strengthened. The hardcovers are covered. I do not
>have a basement -- these items were all kept in my apartment, and
>thus are in good environmental shape. The 1948 Life Magazine had
>been stored in a basement prior to my purchasing it, but it's lost
>it's musty smell almost completely. All other items show some sign
>of their age, but the pictures show, they are all in good shape and
>were well taken care of.
