Recent Acquisitions

 

We are pleased to present a selection of twenty-two recent acquisitions for August, curated and catalogued by our booksellers.

Discover a diverse range of literary, artistic, and scientific works: from Allen Ginsberg’s own copy of The Gates of Wrath, inscribed with an unpublished manuscript poem, to Hiram Maxim’s Artificial and Natural Flight, inscribed by the author and presented to his contemporary and fellow engineer, Sir Dugald Clerk. Other highlights include works by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Radclyffe Hall, and Toni Morrison, alongside countercultural material including a full run of the short-lived literary magazine The San Francisco Earthquake, and ephemeral publications produced by the Bread and Puppet Theatre.
