The Fine Books 50...on shelves now...

Fine Books is at it again. They have produced another dense and rich issue, certain to aid you in loosing several hours of your valuable time. I have grown very attached to this magazine and suggest that it is, by far, the best book/trade journal on the market and arguably the best that has seen print. Great article and great images...just a real treat every other month. The lead story this month is a countdown of the top 50 books, maps, and autographs sold at auction in 2005. While I made some good buys this year at auction, sadly none made the list...I'll try harder this year. They have put the list (with sublinks) online here and an abstract of the article can be found here. It's a great read...have fun [toward full disclosure, we advertise in FB, so by all means read N. Basbane's monthly article closely and see if you can spot our ad].
