A short list of books and pamphlets

The collection was formed over many years, and often purchased from my mentor Jacob Zeitlin at Zeitlin & Ver Brugge Booksellers. Frye’s collection features many early books seldom seen on the market. Future catalogues will offer more from this collection. In addition, a few selected highlights are added.
