Among the books on offer:

- Several signed Edward Gorey items, including two cut figure books;
- A complete run of the Palatine Review, which was founded by Aldous Huxley;
- The smallest book about Theodore Roosevelt: Facts about the Candidate;
- L' Art du Maquillage, a colorfully illustrated French treatise on various types of makeup techniques.
