Of all the book fairs we participate in, New York — our home of nearly 50 years — remains dear to us, and we are thrilled to welcome librarians, collectors, book enthusiasts, and fellow booksellers to our booth, A3.

James Cummins Bookseller is thrilled to present a selection of Americana recently added to our shelves.

March is far from restful as our booksellers are busy adding fresh material to our shelves.

This selection of items—which includes books and original artworks new to our website—covers early printed material on the history of the Republic; plate books printed in Japan, Venice, and London; an official program from the 1950 Venice Biennale; and an original oil painting by Ludwig Bemelmans; among other delights.

Within this selection from the library of the General Theological Seminary you'll find a leaf of the Old Testament in the 48-line edition printed by Schoeffer in Mainz in 1472, a first edition of the Sixtine Vulgate Bible, as well interesting Americana, and scientific and theological material.
