Member Catalogues
2020 marks my 10th anniversary in the antiquarian book trade. Due to the current situation, what was supposed to be a beautifully-printed and mailed catalog is now available as an e-catalog. It contains a 100 items, in Russian, English, Bulgarian, German, Czech, Polish, and French, and covers a wide range of topics, including Russian- and Bulgarian-Americana, Avant-garde and Impressionism, politics, science and medicine, performing arts, and more.

Our new catalog, THE BEATS, contains more than 100 items related to the Beat movement, nearly all new arrivals, with a few items from stock at reduced prices. Many of these wonderful pieces come from two libraries, that of R'Lene Dahlberg, widow of the writer Edward Dahlberg and friend of many authors, and that of one of the original Beats, Herbert Huncke. Drug addict, petty thief, and sub-culture icon, Huncke introduced William Burroughs to heroin, and Burroughs introduced him to his friends, Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg. Huncke appeared as a character, sometimes under his own name, in ON THE ROAD (Elmo Hassel), as well as three other books by Kerouac, HOWL, JUNKIE (Herbert), and GO (Ancke). It was Huncke who introduced Kerouac to the term "beat," which Kerouac would later use to describe his generation to John Clellon Holmes. Kerouac called Huncke "the greatest storyteller I know." In his last few years, Huncke lived in the Chelsea Hotel, where his rent came from financial support from Jerry Garcia of The Grateful Dead, whom Huncke never met.
