What's with Catalog 140?

A couple of things. First of all, Tom Bloom's cover art actually means something this time! Well - it always means something, although occasionally the hermeneutic meaning of the art is buried deep in the quirky and cluttered Rube Goldbergian-subconsciousness of the artist. This time however, it serves to reinforce that WE'VE MOVED from the old Victorian house that housed Between the Covers for the past dozen years, into a slightly less old brick school building where we have more room to indulge ourselves in our own passion for buying too many books. If you want to see pictures of our new digs (and the vast disarray that still abounds therein), we've created a web gallery.

Next we should mention that the vast majority of books in this catalog have come from a single collection that we recently purchased, and this should be the first of many catalogs that feature books from that collection. The collection, one of the largest and best we've ever purchased, came out of Greenwich Village in January, and consists of approximately 15,000 20th Century literary first editions, mostly in exceptional condition. The quicker you buy them, the quicker we can catalog them, so by no means hesitate to buy on our account. Then WE can buy some more books, too!
