A splendid reference work for the Americanist and a guide that's pleasurable for mere reading. The prices and availability of now-rare titles are enticing. The first title cited is Edward Sheriff Curtis's "The North American Indian," featuring all 40 volumes (20 text and 20 atlas volumes) -- one of 500 sets. By a conservative estimate, these catalogs present some-5,000 titles.
