During the years Llewellyn Howland III was an editor at Little, Brown, the Howland family enjoyed vacationing in Bermuda. In memory of those palmy days Louie assembled what I think of as a “sentimental” collection of books about Bermuda’s history, natural history, topography, and culture. No great rarities here, but a broad selection of 19th and 20th century texts and images reminiscent of that storied place.
As always with these subject lists from the shelves of Howland and Company, postage for the first book is $5, each book thereafter is $3.50. If any enterprising individual or dealer wishes to snag the entire lot, it’s yours for $2500 plus postage at cost. But you’d better act fast!
