Americana Arrivals

Americana Arrivals

Within this eclectic catalogue of new arrivals in Americana you'll find the very rare first British edition of this crucial Revolutionary document — the Declaration of Congress issued July 6, 1775, giving reasons for the American colonies taking up arms against Great Britain; and an extraordinary autograph letter signed "J. Q. Adams" on the Constitution.

Art of Translation

Art of Translation

From polyglot dictionaries to original work parading as translation, this catalogue is dedicated to the art and impact of translation. Highlights include Edith Wharton's Twelve Poems inscribed to longtime friends and translators, Paul and Minnie Bourget and a signed copy of the contract for the Portuguese-language rights of The Catcher in the Rye, made between Salinger and the Lisbon publisher Livros do Brasil.
