The prospectus from the Rosenbach Company for their classic bibliography of
Tobacco.
<http://tinyurl.com/nlnlx>
In 1937 the Rosenbach Company published "The Arents Catalogue. TOBACCO, Its
History Illustrated by the Books, Manuscripts and Engravings in the Library
of George Arents, Jr. Together with an Introductory Essay, A Glossary and
Bibliographic Notes by Jerome E. Brooks".
This is the prospectus for that 5-volume set. The set itself will now set
you back about $3500. This prospectus describing the set and soliciting
orders will be much, much cheaper.
It's the sort of thing that tickles your fancy or doesn't. I think this
sort of ephemera is very cool. Hopefully someone else will too...
The auction has no reserve, because the Surgeon General has determined that
reserves can cause spontaneous human combustion.
