55 recently-cataloged items reflecting this bookselling concern’s longstanding if perhaps unremunerative affection for minor American literature of the middle to late 19th century—the very sort of stuff that prompted Hawthorne’s dyspeptic plaint. Not all of the authors listed here are women, but certainly none were likely to have earned much in the way of serious literary regard.
122 books, broadsides, ephemera, manuscripts, maps, and pamphlets, concerning the South and its states, cities, locales; people, of indigenous, African, and European heritage; history; law, medicine, business, agriculture; organizations, religious, military, masonic, racist; and wars, the Revolution, the War of 1816, the Civil War and Confederacy.

A CATALOGUE OF SIGNIFICANT AND UNUSUAL IMPRINTS RELATING TO AMERICA
Scholars have long recognized the link between games and learning. In this catalog we offer a wide variety of modern American board games that are unified by a common theme - they all carry some type of social commentary. Whether it was by accident or by design, these games are a reflection of cultural anxieties and changing social mores.
