Collection of Catalogues from House of Books

18 E60th Street, 667 Madison Avenue; Eleven catalogues issued 1961 (2), 1963, 1965, 1968, 1973, 1974, 1978 and 1983, 2 catalogues without annotations as to the date, including the fiftieth anniversary catalogue, signed by the bookseller; 50-70pp each of influential bookselling, "Our first catalogue (in the same format used ever since) appeared in 1934. It included many books that would be virtually unsaleable today, as well as a fine copy of Hemingway's Three Stories and Ten Poems at $160.00 and a Dos Passos holograph notebook at $150.00. Because book values (or prices, not always the same thing) have increased so much in the last five years, there is little point in citing other increases over the span of fifty years." - introduction to the fiftieth anniversary catalogue.
