If anybody is thinking of purchasing the hard bound copies of the Casey Collection they should purchase them with the intention of contributing them ultimately to a library with a good Irish genealogical collection nearby. The books are absolutely invaluable, but being that all of the pages have been reduced in size, they must be read with a magnifying glass unless you have fabulous eyesight. And they probably weight five pounds or more each. So you're not going to be able to take them into the bathroom with you and flip through the pages. So once you have gotten what you can out of them, find a nearby library that would be interested. But make sure it is nearby because you never will know when you might want to look at the books again and for what reason.
