Here is a portion of the reply I received from the e-Bay buyer :
" I paid too much for the Variations book but that was offset by other good buys I have made. Which brings me to the Luger Journals. I was ASTOUNDED by the attention given to my purchase of this item. Let me say I have bought and sold a lot of antique paper (ie. books,magazines,catalogues,photos,comics,baseball cards.etc.) Anyone knows that a "complete" collection of anything is worth more than the sum of it's individual parts. I've seen individual luger journals cheap,but I bet the set was worth a lot more than the total of the individual issues. As it is , I have made arragements to sell my set to an advanced collector after making a few copies for myself. So there is a method to my maddness. I hope this explains the mystery of the Luger Journals, and I do hope that the one guy's wife does get him something nice for Christmas. "
