Craig, if we bought both the order books and the stock books, the serial number range is everything that is available in the books. We already have all the information that is included in the order books. In 1998, we didn't copy any of the stock books as I recall, so all of that information will be new. We didn't have copying machines that would take the large size of the stock books. However, it will be a monumental job to digitize the stock books, because they are so fragile. I doubt that PGCA will tackle that job in the near future. I am waiting for John Davis
to correct my statements and add to them. Correction: Chuck reminds me that the stock book information will not be "new", but will be in a better form to be recopied so it can be used by the PGCA researchers. Thanks, Chuck.
