Looking for Glover's 2nd book

[HistoriAnne]

Hello, I've been a forum reader for a bit, but never posted. I am trying to locate a copy of Thomas Glover's 2nd book, "The Lost Dutchman Mine of Jacob Waltz, Unraveling a Mystery," but to no avail. Does anyone have a source for a copy? Even if it is just to borrow? I live in Phoenix.

Thank you!

This one, correct?

If so, I will look in my piles of Dutchman books. I more than likely have one I can give you. If not, I can find one shortly. I obtain Dutchman books frequently and purchase all that I find to give away later. I also have another book from him that I can give you that's brand new.

Thank you so much!

If your search is not fruitful, I have both books near mint condition. Send me a private message.
I don't post here because I have been taking it all in but I have been a lurker here for over ten years. Doesn't look like I am ever gonna make it to the Supes.

If you ever do look me up. Or consider coming for the Rendezvous. I promise the Superstitions are amazing in person. Depending on where you live, I know it can be far. Theres tons of places I want to go but time and money always hold me back.

HistoriAnne,

I'm late to reply to your question so my response may be stale at this point.

Your question is a good one: "I am trying to locate a copy of Thomas Glover's 2nd book,The Lost Dutchman Mine of Jacob Waltz, Unraveling a Mystery. Does anyone have a source for a copy?"

Thomas Glover authored four books on the Superstitions and the Lost Dutchman Mine:
The Lost Dutchman Mine of Jacob Waltz, Part 1: The Golden Dream, 1998
The Lost Dutchman Mine of Jacob Waltz, Part 2: The Holmes Manuscript, 2000
Treasure Tales of the Superstitions: Clues, Maps and Twice Told Tales, 2015
The Lost Dutchman Mine of Jacob Waltz: Unraveling a Mystery, 2017

Unraveling a Mystery was his fourth book and not his second.

Below is the last page of Unraveling A Mystery in which Tom states Unraveling a Mystery is "part of a trilogy."

Tom told me the first printing of Unraveling A Mystery was something like 40 copies and at that time he had no plans for a another printing so the book is extremely rare. It might be difficult to find a copy for sale or even for loan.

How are your efforts going to locate the book? Hopefully you got lucky.

I've read that the last book's value in its First Printing is valued at $74 and it IS extremely hard to locate.

Hey HistoriAnne,

Like Steve said, only 40 copies printed. Thomas didn't even have any copies on his bookshelf at the house that I saw.

"Unraveling" is pretty much the same as "Golden Dream", but I believe it was Thomas' way of distancing his work from someone whose bogus information he used earlier. This same person gave a lot of bogus information to Helen Corbin for her "Bible" on the Lost Dutchman. It was so bad that Bob (Corbin) bought up every copy he could find so they wouldn't embarrass his late wife.

One of the reasons I never really wanted to hunt the LDM is because of all the BS floating around. Just be cautious as to what info you take to heart when reading Lost Dutchman Books (or posts). There are much better treasure stories from the Superstitions than the LDM. The less well known the stories are, the less chance of being "embellished".

Best of Luck - Mike

Just 40 copies? That explains why no seller needed to send it to Europe. Can someone guide Dr. Glover to e-publishing? For example Robert Kesselrings two books are published as ebook at lulu. I don*t know anything about the financials there and elsewhere, but the small number of copies can't generate much profit either. Can't be much of a problem with a book which is alread printed.

And offtopic here: There is second old forum with a lot of old valuable content offline. Forbidden access 403. Maybe some content can be saved.

I'm also been looking for this one. I've been searching Bookmans and all the other Mesa used book stores
