10 New Catalogues Reviewed This Month

New catalogues under review.

New catalogues under review.

This month we received 10 new catalogues to review. They are a varied bunch. Ken Lopez Bookseller offers a selection relating to modern literature and its authors. Aleph-Bet Books features children's books, plus offers a list of the 100 most collectible titles in the field. RoYoung Bookseller focuses on the book arts, while Marilyn Braiterman Rare Books features art, architecture, fine press and more. Librairie Thomas-Scheler presents antiquarian books A-K (we assume there will be more such catalogues), and Sotheran's has the latest in the nearly a century-old series of Piccadilly Notes.

 

Americana is a recurring theme this month. Walkabout Books features Americana, David M. Lesser Fine Antiquarian Books celebrates 25 years of selling rare Americana, the William Reese Company offers American Natural History, and Joe Rubinfine has unique signed American documents.
