Hello,  I don't believe anyone has done a formal survey of the QRS
Bluebird and Story Roll series.  The 1922 QRS dealers' guide lists most
of the Story Rolls in order.  It also lists a whole bunch of Autograph
rolls, maybe all, I'm not sure.  (I don't know when they discontinued
Autograph rolls.)

Mr. Rob DeLand, of BluesTone Music Rolls, compiled a rollography of all
the QRS Autograph rolls several years ago.  I have not seen this text,
nor can I tell you where to get it.  I am forwarding this email along
to him in addition to MMD, with the hope that perhaps he can assist
you.  I myself wouldn't mind obtaining a copy of this rollograpy, so
I don't have to compile it all over again. It should be more widely
available!

Sincerely,
Andrew Barrett - who will resume work on the U.S. Music Rollography
in December as soon as the ragtime festival season is over.
