All catalogs have now been closed out and no further offerings are planned.

The books listed in the catalogs were drawn from the remains of my personal collection, assembled over a 20 year period before 1980, and subsequently subjected to extensive fire and water damage. Had it not been for the encouragement of fellow wine-book collectors, mostly members of Wayward Tendrils (see link above), these catalogs would not have seen the light of day. They gave me an option that was better than attempting to re-build the collection. I re-visited the books, reading many of them for the first time, and giving free rein to my bibliographic predilections. It turned out to be the easiest way to say goodbye to old books and hello to new friends.

            The last two catalogs have been left here (minus prices) for your perusal. In addition, copies of all the original "mailed" catalogs (from A to Z) -- minus covers and colophons, are available for viewing and/or download.

          At some future date, I may restore all original online Catalogs A through T-Z (1996 to 2002), together with the images that accompanied them.  And I might add some further bibliographic material as well.  On the other hand . . .
