<p>Beginning about 1867 Billings began acquiring old sales catalogues from book dealers and publishers. A list of titles offered for sale decades earlier, while not a current source for purchasing, gave Billings and his colleagues further suggestions for titles. If something was of interest in the old catalogues they could then search current booksellers' inventories.</p>
