November 20, 2024: New Arrivals 

It has been a busy time for us since our last mailing. Susan and I attended the ILAB (International League of Antiquarian Booksellers) conference in Amsterdam, where we saw all sorts of interesting items, sites, and museums in the company of colleagues from around the world.

Shortly after returning we exhibited at the Boston ABAA book fair.
