Source Title The Americana Library of Laird U. Park, Jr.
Description Mr. Park's books were presented for sale in the late fall of 2000, when the outcome of the presidential election was uncertain. The sale went ahead on schedule and many of Mr. Park's extraordinary books failed to reach full valuations. For collectors there were many exceptional buys of exceptional copies.

Life is uncertain and so it was that day. However, with the passing of time Mr. Park's collection will continue to be referenced and to be hailed. It was a rare accomplishment.
