Feel free to concoct your own theme for our latest catalog. The selection is, as usual, not only eclectic but entirely by chance. Whether it's the first American poetry anthology, Jimmy Piersall's biography inscribed to Joe DiMaggio, the first books by Harry Houdini, A.J. Liebling, and Patrick White, the first American edition of Wuthering Heights, an 1825 Printing and the Mind of Man title wrapped in a home-made 1827 dustjacket, or our personal favorite, an empty cardboard box sent from the publisher Alfred A. Knopf to author Willa Cather, we're pretty sure what you will find here is what you won't find anywhere else. |
