Ken Lopez Bookseller has released his catalogue number 161 of Modern Literature. Offered is a collection of first editions of books along with some ephemeral material, such as letters and photographs. Being modern, most items are from the 20th century, but a few are even more modern than that. You will find many of the most noted of authors of the past century here, with a concentration in the last 50 or 60 years. And, while this is mainly a catalogue of literature, not everything in these pages is fiction. Rules are meant to have exceptions. Here are some samples.
