Thanks, John. I imagine the people wanting to know would be the editors of the Oxford Spenser.  I know David Miller is on the list. I'll copy this to Joe Lowenstein (who just gave a terrific and moving plenary talk at the SCSC conference on Saturday) in case he isn't in the list--I know he has had Spenser stuff digitized. The seller is, if I have this right, mallardbooks--anyway, I know mallard is in the name. I have a query in about possible marginalia. So far the bidding is about $1100 but there is no way it's going to sell for that, although it's damaged, and there's a week to go. Once when I did bid $500 on a 16th century Ariosto, knowing it was a futile gesture, the bookseller simply withdrew the book after no bid came anywhere near the book's worth. Oh to be rich. Yes, you can see the 1590 edition on EEBO, but still . . . . Anyway, David and the others can add it to the list and maybe track down the seller. Anne Prescott.

I just noticed a 1590 copy of the FQ on ebay. The link is:

I remember someone on the list wanting to track all existing copies. I just can't remember who it was.
This might be another one to add to that list.
