There are many sub-collections on the shelves of Howland and Company. So, in the calm following the publication of Maritime List 276, I thought it would be fun to make a catalog out of one of these subject collections. If the response is good, more will follow.
The city of Salem, Mass., of course, plays a big part in America’s maritime history. Without too much of a stretch I could say that this list, composed entirely of books about Salem, is another maritime list.
Since it is my intention to sell them rather than simply have them admired, all the books in this list are priced below market. If some enterprising collector or dealer is interested in the whole lot, I’ll sell it for $2000 plus postage (Media mail, at cost.).
As is the case with these lower-priced lists, postage for the first book is $5. Each book thereafter is $3.50.
Our new phone system (still at 978-283 5299) seems to be working now, but an email to tenpound@tenpound.com is probably the best way to order.
