SIMPLE Book Lists . . .
 

Most of the usually budget-priced books in these simple, unillustrated, EXTENSIVE catalogues 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 this website, either, thoughyou could find them 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 the items — and many are sufficiently unusual that even serious scholars and advanced collectors may find
happy surprises.
