First, it has been very difficult to obtain all eighty titles. Only four individuals were able to accomplish this. Thomas Streeter was the first to complete a collection of all eighty items; he sold his books at auction between 1966 and 1969. Frederick Beinecke was the second. He finished by buying Streeter's copy of 'The Life and Adventures of Joaquin Murieta, the Celebrated California Bandit' by Yellow Bird (John R. Ridge), the only item he was missing. He immediately gave his collection to the library named after his family at Yale University, which remains the only institution to hold all eighty items in first edition. Henry Clifford was the third collector to complete the Zamorano 80; his collection was sold at auction in 1995. The most recent complete collection was assembled by Daniel Volkmann. The auction of his books in 2003 fetched $883,608.25!"
