Occasional List 20: Amazing with an Asterisk

By Garrett Scott, Bookseller


Occasional List 20: Amazing with an Asterisk An online-only illustrated catalog. 33 items to demonstrate the proposition that daily life presents small instances of wonder: A kitten saves a family from a fire.

Catalogue Four: Between Farm & Table - The Production & Marketing of Food

By Rabelais: Fine Books on Food & Drink


Catalogue Four: Between Farm & Table - The Production & Marketing of Food How and when did food production move from the kitchen to the factory? The items in this catalogue seek to illustrate this transformation. Included are printed and manuscript materials produced by and for the food industry: handbooks, trade catalogues, advertising art, labels, photographs, and ephemera. We've divided the catalogue into the primary activities that occur 'between farm and table', stopping just short of the home or restaurant kitchen.

How to request a print version: We will gladly supply printed catalogues to known customers, all institutions and booksellers, at no charge. If you are a new customer, the catalogues cost $10, and are available to order on the catalogue page of our website: http://www.rabelaisbooks.com/catalogs.php


A Selection of Books from the Library of American Computer Pioneer Willis Ware

By Johnson Rare Books & Archives


A Selection of Books from the Library of American Computer Pioneer Willis Ware Each of the books on this list come from the personal library of American computer pioneer Willis Ware (1920-2013). Some have his bookplate to the front pastedown, others may include an inscription or have items laid in that help further illuminate the advanced thinking of this leader in the technological revolution. In the late 1940s, Ware helped John von Neumann build a machine that would become a blueprint for computer design in the 20th century, and later played an important role in defining the importance of personal privacy in the information age.
