Our latest cataogue is devoted to works from and about Cuba, primarily from the 19th century.  It includes unusual and rare imprints -- many of them unrecorded -- not only from Havana, but also Guanabacoa, Cienfuegos, Puerto-Principe, and Matanzas, as well as manuscript material and photography.  Highlights include a rare Cuban cook book illustrated with plates; a rare bilingual guidebook published in Havana in 1899, with a handsome map; an archive of mining photographs featuring local people and scenery; the archive of a Cuban planter from the early 19th-century; a photographically illustrated work on the Cuban Revolution published in 1872; a rare annual guide to Cuba from 1809 located in one other copy; and many more interesting pieces. Enjoy!

Our first list of the year contains thirty interesting archives and manuscripts, most of them freshly catalogued over the past two months.  Highlights include a fantastic and charming travelogue of a journey from England to the Amazon illustrated with photos and drawings; a lengthy manuscript describing travel through Africa in great detail; a manuscript map from Mexico; two western American diaries; a large archive of a Colorado mining family; antebellum business letters from New Orleans; a weird manuscript from the 1980s about tarot; an Oklahoma teenager’s high school scrapbook; and much more.  Enjoy!

We are pleased to be exhibiting at this year’s Boston Antiquarian Book Fair: Virtual Edition.  We’ve selected a wide array of new material for the fair, ranging from early American imprints to rare Mexican books to archives to photographs from the Japanese internment camps of World War II.  Highlights include a rare Mexican prayer book with the copper plate used in its printing; the first American work on aeronautics; photographs of early Texas oil fields; an early Ohio surveying manual; cartes-de-visite of two Chinese immigrants to Montana; and much more.  Enjoy!

A dozen freshly catalogued new items including a Mexican farm laborer's manuscript devotional from the 1920s, a rural Texas directory, a handsome California trade catalog, rare printing from Iowa and Kansas, a rare imprint from 1830s Upstate New York, and more. Enjoy!
