Our next catalogue will be issued to correspond with the Boston Book

and autographs including fine Presidential items and a number of 
illustrated 16th Century books. Future monthly catalogues will feature 
strong collections of 19th Century American and British Literature, 
Hand-colored Ornithology books, a fine Mountaineering collection, and 
much more.
