Maritime List 368 – Walking Around Money
February 9, 2026
Finally finished cataloging, preparing, packing, and shipping all the material to the West Coast for the Pasadena and San Francisco shows. The task seemed particularly arduous this year, mostly because I had a lot of interesting and obscure manuscript material that needed to be read, understood, put in context and written up, but also because, well… you know, I’m not as young as I used to be. Anyway, after all that stuff was cleared out I saw that my office was cluttered with recent acquisitions – nothing particularly rare, all that sort of material went west. Just a pile of decent books that needed to get cataloged and put up on Biblo, ABE, and ABAA sites. Then I thought, “As long as I’m writing all this stuff up, why don’t I make a catalog out of it? People are bound to buy some of what’s on offer, and I might even get paid soon enough to have a little walking around money for California.
So here they are, in all their glory. Mostly maritime, larded with a few interesting books in other fields. As usual, we will pay postage on all items shipped within the US. To order a book, please send an email to us at tenpound@tenpound.com listing item number, author and title. Best not to telephone, as I’m frequently out of the office and rely on time-stamped emails to keep everything fist come, first served. Enjoy!
