Dear Friends and Colleagues--

Marcee and I are pleased to send you Catalog #1 from Stellar Books & Ephemera.  We began Stellar Books & Ephemera after a three-month sabbatical following the sale of Back of Beyond Books in May of last year.  In a couple sentences, here is what Stellar is all about:  

Stellar Books & Ephemera is an on-line antiquarian dealer offering a wide variety of unique, unusual and rare artifacts of North American History ranging from letters, manuscripts, archives and diaries to 19th and 20th century photography. We specialize in the ephemeral and occasionally offer finer books which strike our fancy. We plan to exhibit at several bookfairs yearly and are members of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America, ABAA. 

Thank you for taking a look. Orders may be placed by calling 435-260-8596 or by e-mail: andy@stellarrarebooks.com.  We gladly provide reciprocal dealer discounts and extended dating for institutional clients.

Andy and Marcee Nettell
