Dis Am Sumpin’
As a Christmas greeting, Charles Heartman sent out from his Book Farm, down in Hattiesburg, Miss., a splendidly-printed pamphlet, entitled “Bibliography of the Writings and Speeches of Gabriel Wells, L.H.D.” As less than 200 copies were issued, it will no doubt become a much sought-after item.
About “Cats”
You can’t possibly get in touch with all the rare book, autograph and print dealers that issue catalogues. Which, then, shall you select? Were the question put to us, we would say, “Chose those who have indicated that they really want your patronage by advertising for it.” Every firm using the business columns of THE COLLECTOR’S GUIDE is a top-notcher in his line—not a mossback in the lot. They get out frequent catalogues and lists and will be glad to respond to your requests for copies thereof. Furthermore, it is our careful endeavor to only admit dependable firms to our columns, thus affording you an extra feeling of security when you patronize them.

An illustrated booklet, describing fine and plain hand bindings, is yours for the asking. Beautifully Illustrated, it shows 37 gold-tooled designs on book backs; also de luxe editions. Our prices are moderate.
