Bernard Quaritch Ltd. presents books on food & drink from the library of Christopher Hogwood. Aleph-Bet Books has a new selection of children's books.

 

Langdon Manor Books has issued their first catalogue, and it targets African-Americana, archives and American social movements. Lorne Bair Rare Books features radical literature, art and photography, and African-Americana. Bjarne Tokerud Bookseller covers early voyages and discovery, overland expeditions to British Columbia, and the Pacific Northwest.

 

Riverrun Books & Manuscripts' Catalogue One features the Adirondacks and beyond. Peter Harrington offers a collection of the works of Arthur Rackham. Jeff Weber Rare Books has books by and about explorer Richard Burton, the Middle East, and Persia.
