LISTS! LISTS!

[SIMPLE, UNILLUSTRATED, EXTENSIVE]
* Please note that unlike our Illustrated Catalogues, these Lists are
NOT UPDATED to report sales . . .

The usually-inexpensive books in these lists are almost all “SESSABKS” —
historically owned by The PRB&M Shopcat.
Many PDF-listed items are not offered via any of the databases
(e.g., ABE, Biblio, ILAB);
they are mostly not described/illustrated in the century, language, and subject catalogues at our independent website — though they could be found by direct search of our database.

It's “find 'em in these lists or come find 'em on our shelves”!
unless you already KNOW you want one of these items.
