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.
Not restricted to glitz and glamor, this performing arts catalogue includes contractual disagreements, a peek behind the scenes of Ginsberg's rock and roll album, and an archive of post-punk film in the East Village.
This catalogue, including selections from the Gilder Lehrman Collection, covers a wide swath of Americana from the first depiction of the American flag, an early printing of the Star Spangled Banner, rare maps from the Revolution and Civil War and more.
We are delighted to present a list of literary new acquisitions including a first edition of A Pair of Blue Eyes by Thomas Hardy; John Singer Sargent's Portrait of Henry James, signed by both; and an outstanding copy of Twelve Days by Vita Sackville-West, in dust jacket.
From New Mexico to Washington and everything in between, this catalogue of Western Americana presents stories from nearly half the land area of the contiguous United States of America.
