[Rarebooks] [INFO] New Catalog- Art & Antique Auction Catalogs -19th-20th Centurires

[Joslin Hall Rare Books, ABAA]

One of the things the book elves love about country life is going to
country auctions. There just seems to be no end to the stuff we need that
they find there (although I am thinking of returning the goat). But before
the book elves wheeled into the yard last night with 3 boxes of Limoges
soup bowls and a concrete birdbath in the shape of Mel Torme, they
finished our latest catalog-

      “GOING ONCE... GOING TWICE...”
      ART & ANTIQUE AUCTION CATALOGS
      of the 19th and 20th CENTURIES

This catalog includes 234 auction catalogs and a few related books,
featuring notable sales, great estates, famous collectors, ancient art,
books, ceramics & glass, furniture & Americana, Eastern arts, fine arts,
