beginning in 1929 to their much more limited and often large-format recent 
offerings.  In addition to what is listed among our new arrivals, we have about 
300 other LECs cataogued on our website as well as half that number yet to be 
catalogued: http://www.erols.com/agvent (to see them all, type in Limited 
Editions Club under the Any Word category on our search engine).  Future monthly 
catalogues will feature strong collections of Tennessee Williams and Carl 
Sandburg, Hand-colored Ornithology books, a fine Mountaineering collection, and 
much more.
