Okay, Winter, get the fork. I’m done…
California, here I come!
Rare Books LA Feb 3-4
56th California International Antiquarian Book Fair Feb 9-11
But before leaving, I noticed a few things scattered around the office that I thought I should take care of. I began cataloging them, and next thing you know, there was Maritime List 338! – A collection of 43 diverse items, mostly maritime related, in a variety of media. I’m not leaving Gloucester until January 31, so there will be plenty of time to process all your orders.

Orders will be sent postpaid and insured, at no cost to you. Overseas and oversize orders shipped at cost. Massachusetts state tax of 6.25% will be added for MA residents.
