This month we have 11 new bookseller catalogues to review. They are a varied lot. Ken Lopez, Bookseller offers selections in modern literature. Aleph-Bet Books has children's and illustrated books. Marc Selvaggio Books and Ephemera focuses on world's fairs and exhibitions. Asher Rare Books and the Antiquariaat Forum feature military history.
Maggs Bros. presents a selection of voyages and travel, while Hordern House targets European Pacific discovery from 1538-1843. Those voyages required serious ocean travel, which takes us to a catalogue of marine books and images from the Ten Pound Island Book Company. James Cummins Bookseller offers a variety of material.
Rare Americana is the focus of David M. Lesser Fine Antiquarian Books. Walkabout Books features an American Miscellany. L & T Respess Books also has a variety of material with an American orientation.
