Timetable collecting

I'm not sure where to post this question, so I'll start here. I've just started collecting DL&W passenger timetables and am looking for sources. I actually just purchased 9 tables from a friend and would like more information. Is there a complete list of original timetables available? It would be nice to know how big a complete collection is. Also does anybody know of sources for timetables, either mail order or real stores in the upstate NY area? It seems to me that I've seen plastic sleeves somewhere that can be used to protect the timetables too. Thanks - Bill

Check with Carl Loucks of North Haven, CT.

He is a well-established dealer / collector of public and employee timetables.

Try Ebay. it's a good place to start.

I usually come away with a pretty good haul from the ARS train show in Springfield, MA each year. The JCRHS train show in Clark, NJ is also another great source. Everything else comes from eBay (where you will often pay through the nose).

Take a look at the online collection posted by John Liles - you'll find an extensive array of Erie, DL&W and EL public and employee timetables, among many other items. While not for sale, these images should serve to give you an idea of what's out there:
