11 new catalogues.

11 new catalogues.

This month we review 11 new bookseller catalogues. The 19th Century Rare Book & Photograph Shop has a catalogue of material they accurately describe as "magnificent." Erasmushaus offers some very old books. Samuel Gedge Ltd. also has very old material, but much in the way of unusual ephemeral items.

 

Ursus Rare Books focuses on avant-garde book design 1915-2000. The Lawbook Exchange offers a collection of the law and law related topics from the 15th-20th century. Zephyr Rare Book will take you all sorts of places, both literally and literarily, while Shapero Rare Books will take you off on a journey to see other places and other lives.

 

The George S. MacManus Company has a catalogue of Colonial and Revolutionary Americana. David M. Lesser Fine Antiquarian Books offers a new selection of rare Americana. L&T Respess Books is focused on South Carolina. Patrick McGahern Books targets the land a bit to the north with rare and antiquarian Canadiana.
