Another of the nearly 60 new arrivals, this one of ten or so 
hand-colored plate books, that we will be bringing to the New York Book 
Fair, April 8 - 10, at the Armory on Park Ave. and 67th St. We have not 
issued an advance list to anyone, and none of these will be listed 
anywhere on the internet until after the show is over. The only way to 
see them is to visit our booth: D8. We hope to see you there.
