<p>To mark my tenth anniversary as a book dealer, I’ve gathered all of the unsold material from my first five catalogues into one 64-item e-catalogue. But this is not exactly a sale list. Rather, the catalogue attempts to expose and describe the misjudgments that contributed to each item’s sadly unsold state. There are overvalued association copies, neglected scrapbooks, under-appreciated poetry, and ignored modern art. All formerly so, I hope. But mistakes were made: pandering, bias, infatuation, fetishization, inexperience, ignorance, confusion, impatience…I really am terribly sorry.</p>

During the last eighteen months, we have received a visual feast from some of the leading bookbinders of today, including James & Stuart Brockman, Lester Capon, Stephen Conway, Sayaka Fukuda, Derek Hood, Midori Kunikata-Cockram, Tom McEwan, and Robert Wu. We are taking this opportunity to present some of these works in this e-catalogue, which contains photographs and full descriptions for each binding.
Welcome to our fortieth e-catalogue, comprised of a varied, interesting selection of recent acquisitions priced under $2,000. When putting this selection together, we aimed to include books that covered all of our specialty areas, including miniature books, juvenalia, illustrated books, first editions, and private press books.
