Ten new bookseller catalogues are reviewed this month. Two catalogues are filled with unusual yet affordable material for everyone. Peter L. Masi Books has obscure, fascinating items from the 19th and 20th centuries. Marc Selvaggio Books & Ephemera likewise has a wide range of unusual items within the field of Americana. Kaaterskill Books also offers a collection of Americana, practically every topic within the field, from the 18th and 19th centuries. The William Reese Company focuses on travelers and the American scene, while James Cummins Bookseller features exclusively first and other early American editions.

 

Aleph-Bet Books has a new selection of children's books, always a favorite. Patrick McGahern Books has scarce and interesting material from North America, Europe, and Japan. Librairie Thomas-Scheler covers books from science, medicine, travels and more. Marilyn Braiterman Rare Books offers books featuring art and beauty. Shapero Rare Books is focused on cartography.
