NEW ARRIVALS from RAY BOAS, BOOKSELLER
Walpole, New Hampshire
September 24, 2011
A Selection of fine out-of-print and antiquarian books newly catalogued and for sale on our shelves
|
Here is a new arrivals list as promised last week, and I have 71 "new arrivals" along with 6 "back in stocks" for you to browse through. As October is approaching I started this week reviewing our previous years work on A CHRISTMAS CAROL in preparation for our 4th annual production this December to benefit local food shelves. Each year I have prepared a 12 page booklet on the history of Christmas, and in the first 5 months of this year found many new additions to my library of Christmas and Dickens related material. So, I am starting earlier than past years, but I get so much pleasure from this work, it is worth it. More as the time progresses, but in the meantime enjoy this list. I will try to have more for you this coming week's end. Yours, RAY |
