Happy New Year and an update
Lux Mentis
extremely busy and quite exciting.
We have recently acquired a very unusual Stephen King item, one of five
unedited manuscripts of the book, IT, along with a some significant,
related correspondence. Also, and building on the collection of
illustrated juvenilia we somewhat recently took in, we have just
accepted an absolutely wonderful collection of Rockwell Kent, Lynd Ward
and Franz Mazereel (and a handful of others). I am nearly through
cataloguing this collection and there will be a catalogue when it is
completed. Please let me know if you would like to receive a copy.
For your near-term book browsing pleasure, we are pleased to be
attending Books at the 25th Street Armory book fair on January 26 and
27th (http://www.quiltfest.com/events_detail.asp?id=20). It is a great
location and there will be an exceptional group of dealers present. We
will be bringing a collection of material focused on the illustrated
page but will, as always, be bringing a broad selection of
material...something to tickle nearly any fancy. Please let us know if
there is anything you would specifically like us to bring and we shall
do so.
Looking forward a bit, we will be at the Boston Antiquarian Book &
Ephemera Fair (sponsored by MARIAB) from March 31 through April 1
(http://www.bostonbookandephemerafair.com/) and the Portland Book,
Print and Paper Show in Portland, ME on June 10th
(http://www.bookfairs.com/portland.html). We hope to see you at any and
all.
Again, we hope everyone had a lovely holiday season and please do not
hesitate to touch base in the new year if and when we might be of
assistance.
Warm Regards,
/ijk
