After being in business for over 45 years, and planning for so long to have a website and a blog we finally did it!  We’re up and running and hope you will join us on our continuing journey.

THE BEGINNING

My father was an inveterate collector of books, prints and so much more.  He amassed a collection of approximately 20,000 books and thousands of prints to the point where he had to store them in a house other than where he lived.  The prints date back to the 18th,  19th and 20th century.  I caught the collecting bug, so you can imagine the enormity of what I will be showing you for as long as I can.

One of the sad parts of the story is that after my father passed away, the house in which the books were kept was destroyed, along with most of  the books; categorized collections of so many subjects.  Prior to that I had taken as many books as I could (short of getting a divorce), but I have the prints.  It will take a long time to catalogue, price and get the prints onto my website, so bear with me as I work and savor these old images.  I will continually post them as I work through this delicious collection.

I will tell you more as more as we get to know each other.  Meanwhile I would love to hear from you and hear your stories.

Your friend,
