They all issue catalogues which are sent to prospective bidders on
request, without charge. Parke-Bernet Galleries make a small season
charge for catalogues, which is rebated when purchases reach a specified
minimum.
_Dis Am Sumpin’_
As a Christmas greeting, Charles Heartman sent out from his Book Farm,
down in Hattiesburg, Miss., a splendidly-printed pamphlet, entitled
“Bibliography of the Writings and Speeches of Gabriel Wells, L.H.D.” As
less than 200 copies were issued, it will no doubt become a much
sought-after item.
_About “Cats”_
You can’t possibly get in touch with all the rare book, autograph and
print dealers that issue catalogues. Which, then, shall you select? Were
the question put to us, we would say, “Chose those who have indicated
that they really want your patronage by advertising for it.” Every firm
using the business columns of THE COLLECTOR’S GUIDE is a top-notcher in
his line—not a mossback in the lot. They get out frequent catalogues and
lists and will be glad to respond to your requests for copies thereof.
Furthermore, it is our careful endeavor to only admit dependable firms
to our columns, thus affording you an extra feeling of security when you
patronize them.
