A selection from the San Francisco scribe's latest work.

The bridge between the book and the human body traverses language and feeling. We describe backs as supple, heads and feet as sure or firm, a lip as stained or rough. Is it any wonder that a poetry of words so readily can meet the poetry of the body? Our current e-catalog embraces that intimate and inimitable connection that brings a vocabulary to the shape of ourselves.

We are very pleased to offer the first of several lists of recent acquisitions in this season of harvest and bounty. The following list contains the fruits of our labors in the area of fine printing and illustrated books, reflecting a fair amount of range and variety—from Cranbrook to Janus; from Jewish fables illustrated with 16th century woodcuts, to a modern rendering of five psalms illustrated with colorful silkscreens.
As we have further refined our specialty areas in recent years, we have found ourselves moving further and further away from literature and first editions. Recently, during one of our periodic sweeps of the shelves to check and readjust pricing for a book fair, we alighted upon the idea of offering a list of our literary stock, reflecting deep price reductions. We are therefore pleased to present this selection of literature, from Ambrose Bierce to Tennessee Williams.
