Just purchased a bunch of new photography books, including books on Henri Cartier-Bresson, Bruce Webber, Edward Weston, Robert Mapplethorpe, and Richard Avedon. Great for Christmas!
Bukowski
Recently got a third printing of Bukowski’s Post Office.
What makes this notable is an inscription, from Bukowski to fellow poet, and Bukowski biographer, Neeli Cherkovski.
Pretty nice!
SOLD!
Mosely, Easy
Just got a whole collection of Walter Mosely first editions, all signed, including the first five easy Rawlins books.
Picturesque Indeed!
Barts now has a copy of an 1888 printing of Picturesque California, in two leather bound volumes. The book is edited and features many articles by John Muir.
This beautiful two volume set justifys the term profusely illustrated, with over five hundred etchings and photogravures, and an illustration on every page, or full page illustration on the facing page. Many are by significant western artists such as Fredric Remington.
Raymond Chandler
Got to the bottom of that box of vintage paperbacks, and hit a lovely pocket of Raymond Chandler.
We’ve also recently acquired a First edition of Chandler’s “The Little Sister”
Huxley
Just got in a First edition of Aldous Huxley’s The Doors of Perception. Update Sold!
Black Sparrow Prints
Bart’s recently acquired multiple book covers from the printer who made covers for Black Sparrow Books
we have many copys of each pictured here, and more. They are beautiful, and suitable for framing!
Got some cool vintage paperbacks on trade recently: favorite title: “Violence is golden”, favorite cover “Date With A Dead Man” (that’s one redheaded fox)
Gore Vidal!
Bart’s has recently acquired a large collection of signed Gore Vidal first editions.
All those pictured here, and more.
