I strongly agree with Angie's statements. This whole thing was already so
private that most never knew about it. I did not until today. As to using
other modern methods to help this process, I think this is important to
do, and it will take concerted effort and cooperation on the part of
dealers, librarians/libraries, curators, and law enforcement. It is not a
simple thing to coordinate, if all parties "stay in their own corners."
