Catalogue Six: Too Much of a Good Thing - Groups, Collections and Small Archives
By Rabelais: Fine Books on Food & Drink
Catalogue Six: Too Much of a Good Thing - Groups, Collections and Small Archives This, our sixth full-length catalogue, consists of things that come in bunches, piles, albums, boxes, folders, envelopes, and the like. Most are groups, collections and small archives of one sort or another. When cataloguing these types of things, I’m always tempted to use the word “convolute” (as a noun), not least of all because of the implication of chaos. But these groups are mostly organized, at least thematically, and occasionally by strict principals. Groups also provide opportunity for discovery, as any collector knows, and we hope you will discover something of interest amongst the crowded pages within, and that you are not overcome with too much of a good thing.
