34 miscellaneous items, mostly American and most on reform. (We continue to sift the ore of the long tail of the 19th century.)

45 miscellaneous interesting items—and the first in a while to include whatever had lately come to hand in a flurry of cataloging: an early anti-Galileo imprint from Pisa, American reform satire, a type specimen for the print shop at the French naval dockyards in Toulon, some exquisite canvas samples, early American fancy printing on wool, a meditation on personal curation, more private press work from Kentucky, various type specimens, all thrown in together amid the usual Americana, etc.

50 items -- all either manuscript or nearly flat -- cataloged in a time of pandemic. Subjects include the joys of anti-Bell-Ringing, a lengthy letter from one of the men responsible for the creation of written vernacular Syriac, a deep dive into the history of America's most celebrated hoochie-coochie dancer, powerful letters from a woman beset by conspiracies in Regency England, and appropriate perhaps to the current mood, one will also find several Millerite items.

55 recently-cataloged items reflecting this bookselling concern’s longstanding if perhaps unremunerative affection for minor American literature of the middle to late 19th century—the very sort of stuff that prompted Hawthorne’s dyspeptic plaint. Not all of the authors listed here are women, but certainly none were likely to have earned much in the way of serious literary regard.

47 interesting and unusual items having to do with education, including Emma Willard’s sister turning to the lottery, or a student<br /><br /> at Gettysburg College publishing satirical reviews of the professors of 1882, or an epitome of eccentric free speech on campus.

48 interesting and unusual items that suggest things could be better, either because the material is driven by some utopian intent or springs from some dreadful circumstance.

30 interesting and unusual items relating to sex and exploitation and anxieties.

45 interesting obscure items relating to American religion: Child preachers, Religion and Lust, Christocratic Progressive utopias, an Azusa-era Exclusive Brethren tract, etc.

11 recent arrivals. Cheap early pulp prostitution exploitation fiction or quack venereal disease clinic promotional material are but a few of the items here offered. The +1 to such concupiscence might be understood to include the detailed early 19th century manuscript account book of a cooperative lottery association, or perhaps the working archive and original dummy of a mid-century Christian ventriloquist.

28 interesting items -- generally American, and generally in manuscript or made by hand -- though we have also stretched the definition to include material well-suited to fit the hand or relating to roaming clerical hands or to missing hands. Also: Tractor pulls.

29 interesting items--mostly American, mostly 19th century--ranging from a woman's account of killing a rattlesnake outside Dodge City in 1885, to a fine polygraph trade catalog, to 19th century vernacular dust jackets.

33 miscellaneous items ranging across this bookselling concern’s usual array of preoccupations: American manuscript material, a splendid photographic vista of a slaughterhouse, two books from an early American olive oil advocate and reforming 19th century woman vegetarian physician, and the promotion of a school for stammerers.

23 interesting and unusual items created by hand or modified by hand or somehow peculiarly intended for the hand.
