Alpha Phi Alpha item on Ebay
 

Gentlemen,

I saw this on Ebay and thought you might want to get some one to perhaps purchase it.

While the history of beloved Alpha is public information, it is a sad day to see it up for sale in this manner.

It was probably done by an ETERNAL SPHINXMAN, or some estranged girlfriend of one of The Bruhs, that's all.

Actually,
a lot of these books are from scavengers from estate sales. These individuals are often wholly ignorant of anything relating to the book other than it appears to be old, possibly rare, and thus possibly of value.

In hindsight, there needed to be some sort of reclamation procedure in place for books.

The actual lesson to take from this is to be certain that you include in your will specific instructions for the handling of paraphenalia and other fraternal items.

Good point.
