Auction Update Review
In the short days of December . . .
Dear Friends,
In the short days of December we
pause to say thanks for the many blessings that make life and this project
stimulating and exciting. We count your
interest in this ongoing project among them.
We, at AE, are privileged to live
in the moment when what was known by the few is increasingly known by the
many. It is a profound change. The AED, today at 4,077,436 records is the
youthful runner, already far from home but with miles to go in a career that
should extend well into the future. With
each advance clarity is further confirmed.
We now think in terms of ten
million records and a seamless perspective on what has been celebrated by
dealers, acquired by collectors and judged in the auction rooms. A decade ago it seemed unlikely. Today it’s inevitable.
For years I have counted among my
most important possessions the basic references that enabled a child with
interest in the printed word to become the man with a lifelong appreciation for its
byzantine complexity.
In 2013 we expect to make further meaningful advances.
With our best wishes for these
holidays and the coming year I am
Very truly yours,
Bruce McKinney
AE
