RBMS Booksellers' Showcase 2021
24 Works for the Booksellers' Showcase at this year's conference for the Rare Books and Manuscripts Section of the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL). For the showcase we have chosen 24 items of scholarly significance, highlighting manuscripts, annotated or otherwise unique books, and outsider works of far-reaching influence.
Songs Sacred, Profane, and Extra-Profane
21 items for Spring 2021 - Songs: the literary and the popular, the saintly and the more suggestive. From a fine antiphonal leaf from Bernard Rosenthal to a collection of bawdy ballads from Gershon Legman, via Sappho, Shakespeare, Lear and others, we believe we have the scale of lyrical inclinations quite well covered.
67 Children's Books
A list for Spring 2021 - With thoughts on childhoods past and present we present this list of children's books. Longer (and even more colorful!) than usual, it includes children's literature, picture books, and books to educate
18 Highlights for the California Antiquarian Book Fair
New and Notable Acquisitions, including two beautiful works by Grandville in the publisher's de luxe bindings, Aleister Crowley's Book of Thoth, and a fine livre d'artiste from the Allen Press. Also of note is a truly splendid first edition of Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations.
