October New Arrivals
The shifting of the seasons and a new month calls for a catalogue of recently acquired material.
James Cummins Bookseller
From the Library of the General Theological Seminary
Within our next installment of material from the library of the General Theological Seminary, you'll find several incunables, including an early Fontibus ex Graecis Bible and a 1480 Latin Bible belonging to Cornelius Paine.
Empire State Rare Book Fair
We are delighted to offer a sneak peek of items we will display at the upcoming Empire State Rare Book Fair starting this Thursday, September 17th at the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church.
A Song for Freedom
This week's catalogue offers a wide-ranging survey of African American history and culture, anchored by several extraordinary highlights: a letter from a free Black community in Canada comprised largely of fugitive slaves, and a scarce edition of the first African American anti-slavery songster, as seen here.
New Arrivals
We are delighted to present this week's wide ranging list of new acquisitions. Highlights include a freshly catalogued cache of material from the General Theological Library; a first American edition of The Hobbit, in its iconic dust jacket; and the first History of Virginia printed in Virginia.
