To you, dear reader, we humbly present our latest catalog, comprised of a collection of recently acquired black and white photographs. The two photographers most represented within are Chris Felver and Lynda Koolish -- two Bay Area artists who offered a view of the literary movers and shakers of their respective eras. By Felver there are photos of important figures of the Beat generation, including Ken Kesey, Allen Ginsberg, Lawrence Ferlinghetti -- and from Koolish, we have photos of feminist writers Audre Lorde, Ntozake Shange, and Margaret Atwood. Between these two ends of the spectrum, we also have photos by Jack Welpott, CR Snyder, Chris Kessler, and Claire Burch. Enjoy.

Winter 2015. In conjunction with Inspired By Blake, a two-week William Blake Festival underway in Oxford, England, we are pleased to be collaborating with Blackwell's Bookshop on a list devoted to Blake's books and prints.

Summer 2014. A selection of signed and inscribed books, several extra-illustrated or with manuscripts laid in. From a 13th century bible from the library of Talleyrand to Where the Wild Things Are.

Spring 2014. The first in a series of lists which will present a large private library recently acquired from the San Francisco Bay Area. This list focuses on illuminated manuscripts but includes early books, fine press, and association material.
