Pictures of Italy
Charles Dickens, Allen Press, 1982.
Edition of 140 copies. Cloth over boards. Fine. Like all the Allen books, it's beautifully produced. $250
A Transcript of the Stationers' Registers
Paul Smith, 1950.
acsimile reprints of the late 19th century originals. All near fine (or fine) in red cloth over boards. 1554-1640 (5 volumes, 4 quarto and 1 folio) and 1640-1708 (3 volumes, quarto). Who (besides me) doesn't need this within easy reach? It was very useful for HM's Wither project, but I want the shelf space back. $250 for the set of 8
The Wood Block Prints of Charles Greene

Edition of 100, this is one of 5 cased in full leather. A collection of rare wood-block print images by Charles Sumner Greene (1868-1957).

Book Club of California - Annual Report, 1912
The Phelan Builiding, San Francisco, 1913.
The first report of the Book Club of California, printed on lovely English handmade paper (I can't decipher the watermark). 350 copies printed by Taylor, Nash and Taylor. Fine. Dry reading, but the paper & printing are lovely. Someone in California must want this! $50
The Odyssey of Homer
Homer; T.E. Shaw (trans), Limited Editions Club, 1981.
Edition of 2000 signed by Moser. Fine in cloth with slipcase. The last of my Lawrence collection. $50
Three Equestrian Aquatints
Brown, Paul. Derrydale Press, 1937.
“Music Ahead,” “Hoick!” and “Kennel Bound.” Images approx. 22 x 18 inches on handmade paper approx. 31 x 23 inches. Signed & numbered. In original burled maple frames with new acid-free matting. Probably wwould cost a bundle to ship as is, so buyer may prefer to just have the prints sent rolled. Good condition, maybe a little sun fading (only apparent if taken out of the mat). Seem to have been in frames since purchase. Print seller’s ticket on back of frames. Beautifully executed prints (these images don't do them justice), I’m just not that into horses. James Cummins has two of the three listed at $3,750, and a complete set at auction in 2012 got $2,000. These three $300 each, or $750 for the trio.
