Book sale update…

It turns out it was a great weekend for book sales. We also attended the Baxter Societies annual book sale and landed several additional great buys. They had some great K. D. Wiggins (of Rebecca fame), a reasonable number of firsts and several signed items. I picked up a signed copy of her Dickens tribute and two lovely copies of Susanna and Sue (illustrated by NC Wyeth) and a number of other items.

The surprise, I think, is how few other dealer’s attended this sale. The Baxter Society [LINK] is a bibliophilic society here in Portland. This sale raises money for one of the annual awards they give and books for the event are donated by members and supporters in the community (e.g. the Maine Women’s Writers Collection donated much of the Wiggin material this year). There are/were some wonderful items there. I look forward to the event next year.
