Posted December 2, 2007


We've had a busy Fall, and the fruits of our scurrying about can be found herein. A couple of whaling logs, some rare west coast pilots, Gold Rush and Puget Sound broadsides, a rare signaling book and a French manuscript on the same topic. There may not be something for everyone but we certainly hope there's someone for each book.

Happy Holidays from Greg, Joe and Amanda.
