Vanguard Press The Field of Old and Rare Books and Weekly Book Exchange A CURRENT RARE BOOK NOTES Frederick M. Hopkins FTER a vacation of about two weeks the auction rooms resumed their book sales this week. The prospects for an active period are good, altho announcements of forthcoming sales have not yet been made. LITERATURE relating to the fine arts comprising books on architecture, ceramics, furniture, interior decoration, costume colored plate books, a number of fine bindings, Persian miniature paintings, and many of the publications of the Grolier Club, including the libraries of the late Charles I. Berg of this city, and the late Plato Mountjoy of St. Louis, will be sold at the American Art Galleries January 12. THE latest "Book Auction Records," Volume 23 of the series, has just arrived from London. As it includes the sale season of 1925-26 it is certainly upto-date and some months ahead of the publication dates of the two previous volumes. There are 16,903 records given in its 700 pages, including a useful general index to the four quarterly parts. This British "Book Auction Records" supplements and is almost as indispensable to the rare bookman as is the "American Book Prices Cutrent," the two furnishing a complete guide to values as shown by the sales at auction in the two countries. The Publishers' Weekly is the publisher in the United States. THE editor of the Bookman's Journal In the latest issue dated SeptemberOctober, which has just been mailed to subscribers, offers apologies for delays in publication, pending important changes in format and make-up. This issue completes Volume XIV, and, when publication is resumed, it will show increased usefulness to its subscribers. He promises the magazine will be more closely devoted to the needs of collectors and researchers. In its new form, it will be a royal octavo instead of a quarto, and the resumption of publication. is promised within a very few weeks. THE HE Phoenix Book shop of this city has just issued Catalog No. 5, containing 465 items, mostly modern first editions, but including also many autograph letters and manuscripts. Among the latter are items of distinction, such as Scott's manuscript of his poem, "On Ettrick's Forest's Mountain Dun;" Arthur Symon's manuscript of "Christmas Eve," etc. Among the inscribed books is Moore's "Flowers of Passion." The first editions include de la Mare's any American collector. Henry E. Huntington of Pasadena is the greatest collector of incunabula in America today. He has interested himself seriously in the subject and knows what he is buying. I am proud to say that a majority of the duplicates in my collection are now in the Huntington Library, the best library of incunabula in this country." "Songs of Childhood" and Housman's "A IMPORTANT historical and literary Shropshire Lad." The compiler has given the catalog permanent value by appending a bibliographical check list of the first editions of Sherwood Anderson. The issue, like the others in the same series, is well printed and is a model of what a good catalog should be. JOHN HOWELL of San Francisco an nounces the publication of an important book of sketches written by Bret Harte and Mark Twain in 1864-67, during that brief period when they worked together on the staff of The Californian. This book will appeal to all lovers and collectors of Bret Harte and Mark Twain. It will contain about 250 pages, printed in Caslon type with decorative initials, appropriate to the sixties. The title-page is designed by Edwin Grabhorn. There will be a special edition of 250 copies on Strathmore Japan paper, edges uncut, and an edition of 2,000 copies on Buckeye text paper. Both will be bound in paper boards with cloth back and paper label, and a decorative paper jacket. DR. OTTO H. F. VOLLBEHR of Berlin, whose exhibition of incunabula at the National Arts Club attracted the attention of collectors, has been interviewed at length in regard to America and points that interested him on his visit here. Of course he had a great deal to say in regard to American collectors and rare books. He has the highest praise for the real collectors of old books here, speaking in the highest terms of their enthusiasm, intelligence and persistency. "The late J. Pierpont Morgan was a bibliophile of the first water," he said. "Mr. Morgan took a real personal interest in books and probably had the best knowledge and discrimination of letters, the collection of the late Tristam Coffin of New York, will be sold at the Anderson Galleries in afternoon and evening sessions on January 17. The collection comprises 431 lots and includes valuable letters and documents relating to the American Revolution; autograph letters and documents of many of the Signers and Presidents; and letters of Edgar Allan Poe, Robert Burns, Lord Byron and other literary celebrities. There is much valuable material in the historical letters and documents, covering not only the troublous period of the American Revolution, but also the days preceding it, and the period when the Treaty of Peace was hanging in the balance. The Poe letter is a denial of the charge of plagiarism in connection with "The Conchologist's First Book." Auction Calendar Monday afternoon and evening, January 17th, at a and 8:15.
