MARITIME LIST 192 "Nautical Ephemera"

Catalog 192

Posted June 29, 2010
This is something of a change of pace for us - a catalog composed entirely of documents, manuscripts, pamphlets, photographs and trade cards.
Aside from the fact that such material is visually interesting, these items can also deliver historical information in a very efficient manner - the old saw about a picture being worth 1000 words is right on the mark.
After you've perused this catalog, I hope you'll take a moment to check our new blog on the Tenpound homepage at www.tenpound.com. "Bookman's Log" will feature a new entry about the book business every week. This week we talk about the relationship of books and ephemera, and how the Internet has affected them both. Last week's entry had to do with changes is bookfairs over the past three decades. We hope you'll make it a regular read.
You can email your orders to tenpound@tenpound.com, or telephone 978 283 5299. (We lost our fax capability with the destruction of our old building). Postage is $5 for the first book, $2 for each additional. Mass. residents must pay .0625% sales tax. We accept MC, Visa, PayPal and check.
