If we know your focus and know that you actively seek to expand your collection, we will take care to send you the appropriate specialist lists immediately upon their issuance, let you know promptly of interesting new arrivals, and offer you first refusal on items that seem especially apt. We can do none of that, if your sole communication has been a simple, "Please put me on the mailing list."
PRB&M maintains about a dozen specialized, largely separate mailing lists, e.g., Early Printed Books, Substantive Manuscripts; North and South Americana (with a major sub-speciality in Mexicana) and Indigenous New World Languages; European History (with a sub-speciality in Hispanica) and the History of Ideas generally; Travels, Law, Cookery, Religion, and Bibles. With the exception of some of the Mexicana and other Latin Americana, which goes to about 1850; Cookery, which generally goes to about 1880 but occasionally sneaks up into the era just before World War I; and Bibles in exotic languages, which may go to about 1870 — nearly everything we sell dates from before 1820 — most categories from considerably before. Specializing in early printed and manuscript primary sources, we handle very few 20th-century or "used scholarly, out-of-print" books, and no manuscripts interesting purely as "autographs."
On the list of active lists below, check off the one(s) you would like to receive, and then fill in your personal collecting and mailing information. Please note that the "online relatives" linked to ARE NOT REPLICATIONS of the paper lists, but rather web offerings of related subject matter.
