Chris,as I mentioned on Facebook, this is a beautiful, beautiful catalogue! I went through it on AE, and you did a spectacular job. It’s no wonder this took you some time — anything this nice takes time. Congratulations!
Hi Chris:
Congratulations on the publication of your first catalogue. It really is a beautiful-looking and well-researched catalogue. Makes me wish I was a Dante collector! As a recent grad of the CABS, thanks to the praise you gave the seminar, I take great inspiration from your catalogue. I am just in the early stages of preparing my first one. Great job !!
Thanks for the nice comments about Catalogue #1. I am pretty pleased with the finished product, though it was a long hard slog to get it finished. I do think Catalogue #2 will be much easier.
I’m so glad you went to the Colorado Seminar. I use the things I learned there every day in my bookselling business. Best of luck to you with your catalogue. If I can ever offer any assistance or answer any questions, please let me know.
Wow, beautiful! Congratulations. It must feel wonderful to have it in your hands at last.
A beautifully-designed catalog with excellent content. Well done! I saw it on AE earlier today. Your hard work and anticipation for the finished product reminded me of Leona Rostenberg and Madeleine Stern and their first catalog (1946) in their memoir Old Books, Rare Friends. Read that one yet? Good luck on the catalog sales!
Absolutely fabulous!
Just thought I would let you know that I have mentionedyour catalogue on my blog – I think it deserves a plug!!!!

The catalog looks beautiful. I am so excited to sit down and read it.
Congratulations!
Congratulations on your Dante catalogue. I quickly looked it over and it is very professional. I thought of you recently when I was reading “The Dante Club” by Matthew Pearl, a wonderful biblionovel. Have you read it?
