See More... Rostenberg, Leona and Madeleine B. Stern OLD BOOKS IN THE OLD WORLD, REMINISCENCES OF BOOK BUYING ABROAD.
New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press 1996 8vo. cloth, dust jacket, slipcase. Approx. 168 pages.
First edition. One of 350 special numbered and signed copies inserted in a cloth-covered slipcase. In their books OLD & RARE and BETWEEN BOARDS, these two grand ladies of the bookselling world, Leona Rostenberg and Madeleine B. Stern, recounted many of their stories and hard learned advice gleaned from decades in the book business. This newest volume records for the first time in detail their book buying trips abroad between 1947 and 1957. Drawn from their original diaries and letters of the time and augmented with contemporary recollections, this book renders with an unparalleled sense of immediacy the horrors and treasures to be found in postwar Europe. Visiting London in the late forties, these two scholar-booksellers found among the bombed blocks of buildings and queues for rationed food, some of the most illustrious names in bookselling, Clifford Maggs, E.P. Goldschmidt, and Ernest Weil. Deprived of food and spirit, Europe overflowed with bibliographic treasures waiting to be discovered by these two distinguished ladies and passed on to some of the most renowned libraries in the United States. Unknown works by Martin Luther, original editions of Giorgio Vasari, and countless other rarities from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries were purchased. Full of history and tales of books, this book is as perfect for the casual reader as it is for the sophisticated book collector. Loosely inserted is a lengthy review of this book written by Joel Silver. Spine of jacket faded.

See More... Rostenberg, Leona and Madeleine Stern. NEW WORLDS IN OLD BOOKS.
New Castle Oak Knoll Press 1999 8vo. cloth, dust jacket. 210 pages.
First edition. The dynamic-duo of New York's antiquarian book scene have written a unique and interesting series of essays on the creation of new fields of book collecting. With hard-won authority the authors share with their readers their extraordinary careers that span more than fifty years. Rostenberg & Stern were pioneers in cultivating interests in such diverse fields as Feminism, Judaica, Black Culture and Utopia. We empathize with the wonder and excitement of the authors as countless rare and beautiful books pass through their hands. We learn the byzantine and unspoken "rules of the game" of the rare book trade, and how - in the mid-1940s - two young Jewish girls broke into the male-dominated field of antiquarian book selling by specializing in new and unchartered fields. NEW WORLDS IN OLD BOOKS is a must read for any bibliophile.
