Name of proprietor(s): Bruce J. Ramer
Specialties: Science, Medicine, Technology, Mathematics, Natural History, Early Printed Books, Early Illustrated Books, Early Continental Books, Occult and Alchemy, Related Bibliography and Manuscripts, from the 15th to 20th Centuries. We also carry some Juvenile Material, Voyages and Travels, Americana, Photography and some Ephemeral Material.
Additional Details: “In the 23 years I've been in business,” says Proprietor Bruce J. Ramer, “I've handled some extremely important and rare items, including a manuscript herbal ca. 1390, one of the less than 20 copies of Gregor Mendels offprint of his famous article on hereditary characteristics, another copy of which was in the Sotheby's sale of the Library of Meyer Friedman, M.D., in November 2001, and sold for $300,000, plus the buyer's premium. I sold my copy in 1990 for a then record price for this item, but a little more than 10% of the Sotheby's price.
This gives you an idea of the increase in the value of books on science, medicine and related subjects. The sale of Haskell Norman, M.D., at Christies several years ago, and a few other sales have indicated that this subject area, often neglected by other dealers concentrating on modern first editions, literature, etc., is gaining in popularity, and the important books are increasing exponentially.
Most non-specialist dealers know only the "high spots" in this field, or the famous names, which are in the lists such as Printing and the Mind of Man, Dibner and Horblitt, Milestones of Science and Garisson & Morton (the bibliography of important books in the history of medicine). Specialists such as I am are more aware of interesting books which have been left out of such bibliographies and lists. Please come and visit sometime so that I may show you some of the ways to authenticate books in my areas of specialty, using hundreds of books in my extensive reference library.”
