Thomas A. Goldwasser Rare Books [ABAA] has recently moved offices from San Francisco to bucolic Connecticut where the firm will continue to develop its web presence, while issuing occasional virtual and printed catalogues.  Mr. Goldwasser will also be available by appointment and continue to participate in in-person and virtual book fairs.  It’s a new chapter.

 

For many years Mr. Goldwasser had a retail location in San Francisco, specializing in good and collectible books.  More recently, his focus has shifted to unique materials which benefits from his skills of analysis and cataloguing.

 

Recently he participated with the Transatlantic Virtual Book Fair.  Looking into the fall he’s  scheduled for the ABAA’s September 9-12 fair in New York at the Park Avenue Armory. For the spring of 2022 he’s looking at the possibility of exhibiting on the west coast.

 

As always, he’s looking forward to meeting collectors and collecting institutions and renewing old friendships. In the meantime here’s his website:
