Largesse:  Hard copies of 19th century Readers Guide (2 volumes,  
1890-1899), New York Times Personal Name Index, 1851-1974 (22 volumes) and  New York 
Times Personal Name Index Supplement, 1975-1999, (8  volumes).   About 48" 
in shelf space in all.  
 
Boxed and ready to go.  (2 book-size boxes) 
 
For those unfamiliar with the Times PNI, it was until about 2000 the gold  
standard in researching the Times, an alphabetized collation of all the 
personal  names shown in the yearly/half-yearly/quarterly Times indices 
themselves.   So you didn't have to check "Rosario Candela" in every volume of the 
index. 
 
They are still useful to the very, very dedicated researcher, since  about 
15% of the cites they recover do not show up in the ProQuest  digitization.  
 
 
Free to the first 501c3 organization which promises to pick them up - no  
mailing - from our office:
