The Book Elves have put the barbeque in the garage and are busy trying to 
find a recipe for pumpkin pie that substitutes chocolate for pumpkin, but 
before they froze the computer trying to download an entire season of "Good 
Eats" from the FoodTV Network's website with a 56k modem, they prepared a 
new printed catalog of Recent Acquisitions for November, which is available 
either as a printed catalog or on our website-

If you'd like a hard copy, please send us your mailing address.

This month's selection includes an array of books on furniture, silver, 
ceramics, glass and other decorative arts, as well as a smattering of other 
odd stuff, with highlights including-

* An interesting manuscript catalog of a private American library dated 1832.

* A beautifully-bound copy of a 1910 book on miniature portraits on ivory, 
bound for the collection of railroad magnate Jay Gould's son, George Jay 
Gould, at "Georgian Court".

* A nice copy of the 1804 (first English) edition of Tingry's important 
study of varnishes.

* An interesting catalog of silver ceremonial maces from American colleges.

* A satirical 1886 booklet detailing a Scotch wife's adventures at the 
Edinburgh Art Exhibition.

* An 1895 ledger from Rutland, Vermont detailing a year's worth of liquor 
purchases by the citizens of that city and nearby towns.

* A scarce 1908 book on the Blaschka glass flower models.

* A beautiful 1890 book illustrating French Revolution and Napoleonic-era 
hairstyles in a series of 30 color plates.

* A nice early (1841) edition of Stokes' influential cabinetmaker's guide.

* and much, much more!

We are bursting at the seams here, after a couple of book fairs, some good 
buying from private collections and a couple of very productive road trips. 
In fact, as we went to press with this November catalog, I had the December 
catalog half-filled. Well, "filled" is a relative term- the books are 
stacked here, there and everywhere, but one can never have too many books, 
right? Right.

Well, anyway, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

We have a new edition of our Books on Furniture catalog coming up in a few 
weeks, featuring authors I through Q (IQ, it was easy for me to remember, 
so I went with it), and a new edition of our Catalog of Auction Catalogs 
coming up in early December. We have a few really nice items for that one.

If you'd like copies of any of these, please let us know.

That's going to do it for today. Remember to take a look at our November 
Catalog when you have a chance-

If you find yourself going by one day, give us a call and drop by. There's 
always tea or coffee in the pot, cider in the fridge and various other 
libations and snacks available as well. Until next time, enjoy our catalog 
and enjoy the Fall!
