A CHECKLIST OF AMERICAN NEWSPAPER CARRIERS' ADDRESSES, 1720-1820.
McDonald, Gerald, Stuart C. Sherman And
First edition. The newspaper carrier's address, a printed holiday greeting, was a unique early American poetic form. Each New Year's Day, newspaper carriers around America and Canada distributed printed verses to their customers in hope of a hefty tip. Often highly amusing and occasionally quite socially aware, these broadsides eulogized the dutiful carrier of the year gone by. For the first time, these addresses have been compiled in bibliographic form. Some of America's most prominent men of letters, such as Benjamin Franklin and Daniel Webster, supplied the poetic addresses. 940 American and 61 Canadian addresses are indexed here.

[COLLECTION OF CATALOGUES].
by Nijhoff, Martinus
Over forty catalogues from the Dutch subscription agent and book dealer Martinus Nijhoff, produced over a fifty year period. Martinus Nijhoff was founded in The Hague in 1853. It began as a small shop specializing in rare books and broadened in the ensuing years to include supplying and procuring books for academic libraries. Catalogues are printed in either Dutch, English, German or French. With special issues devoted to industrial art and architecture, Netherlandish history, and Dutch East India, among other topics. Two catalogues were specially printed for Mr. W. Nijhoff's sales trip to the U.S. in the 1930s. Martinus Nijhoff remains in business, though it is now owned by Brill Academic Publishers.
