Of special interest for this sale:

 

• We are fortunate to have recently received book donations from the homes of NBC Sports Producer Ricky Diamond; philanthropist and educator Elisabeth Luce Moore, sister of Henry Luce, who founded Time-Life, Inc.; and Joseph A. Califano, Jr., who served as Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare during the Carter Administration (for more about Mr. Califano, see:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_A._Califano_Jr. 

Many of the books in the Califano collection have been signed and inscribed to him and or his wife Hilary.  Most are in non-fiction categories (e.g., American history and politics, biographies, business, sports) and have been signed by everyone from a former U.S. President (Lyndon Johnson) and cabinet members (Henry Kissinger, Robert McNamara, Alexander Haig, Hilary Clinton), to historians (Arthur Schlesinger), journalists (Woodward and Bernstein, Jim Bishop), entertainers (Art Buchwald, Sidney Poitier, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Tony Bennett) and authors (Dick Francis, Robin Cook, Stuart Woods), to name just a few.

​

Please note the following Book Sale Procedures:

​

• No books or other materials may be left unattended at any time. 

​​

• There will be no separate high volume holding / evaluation area.  Shoppers are requested to evaluate items "in place"— decide whether to purchase an item at the table or shelf where it is displayed.  If you reject an item, please return it to the place it was displayed.  This procedure will be strictly enforced — any books found piled up and put to the side for later evaluation will be promptly re-shelved.

​​

• As a convenience for high volume purchasers — as in recent sales, we will be happy to begin to add-up (tally) books you have selected for purchase while you continue shopping.  You must leave your name and cellphone number with your selections.

​​

• Please bring your own bags, boxes and rolling carts to carry your selections.  We do not anticipate having any boxes available for your use.
