September New Acquisitions

September New Acquisitions

For those of you in the US, I welcome you back to reality from the Labor day holiday weekend, and hope everyone that was able to take advantage of the Monday holiday, enjoyed a relaxing time with friends and family.  Myself, being a self-employed bookseller, I never really have weekends off, as the job is pretty much 24/7..  e.g., this introduction you’re now reading was written last Sunday morning, September 6th.   Not that I’m complaining I hasten to add, as it’s just part of the profession I’ve chosen! 

And with that said, allow me to introduce this week’s offering in our biweekly FS list…  we’ve gathered 15 new additions / new acquisitions, which include a great stereoview of the great 19th C feminist, Annie Dickinson; a couple Dickens items [of course!]; a lovely United Airlines travel poster featuring Hawaii as a destination; a lot of 2005 Burning Man ephemera/memorabilia; a 1st US of Eugene Sue’s THE FEMALE BLUEBEARD; etc., etc.

Enjoy.
