New catalogues under review.

This month we review seven new bookseller catalogues. The William Reese Company offers a selection of Western Americana. Gert Jan Bestebreurtje Rare Books presents material related to the Dutch East Indies. Anywhere in between can be represented by Voyager Books' selection of travel manuscripts and photography.

Aleph-Bet Books has a new collection of children's books. The Lawbook Exchange, naturally enough, features legal books, some serious, others sensational. Antiquates Fine and Rare Books offers antiquarian works, while Joe Rubinfine has a new collection of American historical documents.

All of these latest reviews are available by clicking here now.
