I wanted to let readers know I’m retiring from the book business, have sold all the book inventory, and only have the auction catalogs remaining. The physical size of the group is two racks 12 feet long, 6 feet high, 18 inches wide, 6 shelves in each rack. The catalogs should be able to fit it in a 10 foot panel van. About half of the catalogs are already boxed and labeled with the auction firm noted on the box. My asking price is $4500 for the lot.

The majority of the catalogs are US sales, around 70 to 80% or so, even though the listing will not reflect that. There are multiples of most of the US catalogs and of a lot of the foreign sales, a total of nearly five thousand catalogs. The listing is not comprehensive since there are many catalogs not in the data base (for example the Bowers Armand Champa sale of 1982, around 6 copies, around 40 Ford sales etc, etc). I will send a list to anyone interested upon request. If you wish to discuss, inspect them or have any questions feel free to phone. Thanks, Orville Grady (402-721-8348)
