There is one gal that did come closest to what you would call an original owner collection. She signed her books on the cover, and I would come across them sporadically over the years. Finally I came to realize how broad her romance interests were. And I saw her signature change as she grew older. The only substantial romance collections to survive through the years were all the work of mature men, like Church, Crippen, Crowley, etc. Romance was on the stands, very much so in the early 50's, so they got swept up in across the board purchasing. Nobody collected just romance for the love of the genre. And then came Michelle Nolan. If you are at all interested in the subject, buy her "Love on the Racks". As the saying goes, "she wrote the book", literally. I give you: The Nancy Wessner Collection. Most of these are images I've grabbed, not books I own. It really doesn't qualify as a real collection, of course - I think the most I've seen are 20-30 books. But it gives you some idea of how what was so common for boys, was so rare for girls.

The name on the Saddle Romances matches the handwriting of the names on the other books and clearly they were written by her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
