Bishop Tue, 22 Nov 2011 23:33:35 +0000 http://blogs.library.ucla.edu/special/?p=457#comment-2533 You write about Dr. Belt, "His dedication to book collecting emerged in high school in Los Angeles with the dime novels of Thomas Bird Mosher." Pardon me for saying so, you don't know what you're talking about. Thomas Bird Mosher never published a novel, much less a dime novel. Dr. Belt did, however, enjoy Mosher's books, and he even bought the first Mosher collection that his friend, Norman Strouse, had put together before leaving for military duty. Anyway, your comment about dime novels and Thomas Bird Mosher is not at all correct. By the way, I have Mosher Press books bearing Dr. Elmer Belt's bookplate.
