The first chill in the air calls for family recipes, cozy fireplaces, and toasty wool blankets. In honor of autumn, this week's catalogue is filled with all things domestic—from cooking and home repair, to gardening and needlework.

Plumes of smoke, rivers thick with pollution, nuclear fallout, and ground that tosses buildings like toy blocks: these are just a few of the catastrophic effects of disasters both real and fictitious.

We, in partnership with George S. MacManus Co, are honored to offer for sale Michael Zinman's final "critical mess"—as he called his fifty plus years of collecting.

The present catalogue represents highlights from various sub-genres of this period in his Americana collecting: Bibles, bindings, children's books, imprints, literature, theater broadsides, risqué material, and more. 

From the salmon lochs of Scotland to the trout streams of North America, our catalogue offers a summer full of angling adventure with highlights that include the 1836, First Nicolas Edition of The Complete Angler, considered one of the finest illustrated editions of Walton ever published.

Within this catalogue of astronomy and astrology, you'll find a number of celestial wonders, from a lunar photo-mosaic assembled by the NASA Surveyor program to a first edition of Opus tripartitum de crisi,  the astrological and medical treatise by the Neapolitan physician Cesare Optatus. 

Extraterrestrial beasts, interstellar war, and plenty of plenty of critters that go bump in the night! Within our science fiction, fantasy, and horror catalogue you'll find first edition, first issue of Frank Herbert's incomparable Dune; a first edition of Lovecraft's first book of fiction, The Shunned House, with an H.P.L autograph; and Robert A. Heinlein's Destination Moon, inscribed to his editor.
