A catalog of 1035 items, comprising an extensive list of first books by well known authors. Allen and Patricia Ahearn of Quill & Brush made a name for themselves as dealers in modern first editions, and as the authors of Collected Books: The Guides to Values, which went through a number of editions. While designed as a sales catalog, this is of interest to booksellers as a reference work also, and its alphabetical arrangement makes it easy to consult.
