For our year-end round-up we've gone through the shelves and selected the best and most interesting items in our inventory, many of which have never been in a catalog before. So what did we find? How about an outstanding William Faulkner association copy? Or Hart Crane's own copy of his rare first book, in dustjacket? One of only two known copies of The Phantom of the Opera in original dustjacket? Beautiful copies of Hemingway's first two books? Fine and unrestored copies of To Kill a Mockingbird, On the Road, and The Bell Jar? I could go on, but why not see for yourself below... (and while you're at it, make sure to take a look at Tom Bloom's full catalog illustration by clicking on the thumbnail to the right). |
