Catalogs

We post new virtual catalogs on our home page every 2 or 3 months, usually with some theme in mind.  Past catalogs have centered around individual authors (Auden, Frost, Shaw, etc.) or subject matters (Manuscripts, 19th Century American & British Literature, Hand-Colored Plate Books, etc.).  Two or three times a year, the catalog is a medley of finer, scarcer items including early printed books, fine bindings, hand-colored plate books, travel & exploration, and association copies.  In addition we frequently update the site with new arrivals in a variety of fields.

We hope you will visit us frequently to find items in your areas of collecting.  We will certainly be working hard to come up with the unusual and desirable books and autographs that many have become accustomed to seeing from us.
