  Hartman, Charles F.   CATALOGUE OF EARLY AFRICAN AMERICANA 
(Approximate Title)   1930. Stapled wraps Small 4to  9" - 11" tall.  
Pages 222.  1st Edition 1st Printing.  Charles F. Heartman (1883-1953) 
was a German émigré who began collecting books at an early age and, as 
an adult, became a book dealer, editor, and publisher. He owned book 
stores in New York and later moved to New Jersey where he hosted book 
auctions at his home. Mr. Heartman edited the magazines The American 
Collector and The American Book Collector, published bibliographies and 
reprints as part of his Heartman Historical Series, and produced 
catalogs for his auctions and mail-order business. He developed an 
interest in African Americana and built an important collection of 
documents, pamphlets and other materials, parts of which are now 
preserved in academic libraries at Xavier University and Texas Southern. 
In 1935, Charles relocated with his wife and daughter to New Orleans, 
Louisiana. His books and related papers are in the McCain and Cook 
Libraries University of S. Mississippi. The covers are missing and there 
are medium sized chips off edges of last page, smaller chips at edges of 
first page but all 2270 items are listed and priced for sale. The 
catalogue is undated but probably done in the 1920s or 1930s with the 
items for sale being published back in the 1800s. I see one item from 
1720. Scarce item by the book dealer/collector on this topic and very 
unusual to find this many scarce items in one catalogue.   Fair/ NONE
