NEW ARRIVALS from RAY BOAS, BOOKSELLER
Walpole, New Hampshire
Week Ending - May 4, 2008
A Selection of fine out-of-print and antiquarian books newly catalogued
and for sale on our shelves
 |
Good evening, Monday, May 5th. One of those days that I am pushing
to get everything done, including posting this list. Below I have 63
"new arrivals" for you along with 12 "back in stocks." A nice assortment
from a couple assortments we purchased this past week, and material that
I have had sitting waiting to be catalogued. I am continuing to clean out
my workshop to finish it off to make a "print shop" and photography area.
The Walpole Artisans group that I am involved with is opening a cooperative
this coming week. I have not had the time to get ready to move any
books over, but as treasurer and board member I am helping where I can, and
started another website tonight -
WalpoleArtisans. Sometimes
I wish I could live with only 5 hours sleep to get everything done that I
would like to accomplish. Well, help me out, I need the space in the
shop, so place your orders at any time. Thank you,
yours, RAY |
