Our November 5 sale brings together 280 lots spanning an admirably broad range of subjects, with particular depth in neurology and the history of medicine — highlights include Emil Seletz's illustrated Surgery of Peripheral Nerves, R. Lindsay Rea's Neuro-Ophthalmology, and Shinji Takahashi's Rotation Radiography, inscribed by the author — alongside strong representation in the history of science, physics, and mathematics, where Thomas Muir's four-volume Theory of Determinants and a substantial gathering of spectroscopy and nuclear data publications will reward specialist collectors. The Alfred Adler material, led by a 1927 Leipzig first edition of Menschenkenntnis, anchors a thread of psychology and psychoanalysis that runs through the sale, complementing offerings in literature and the arts ranging from the Cornell Yeats and Moore manuscript materials and advance proof copies of Pablo Neruda's Song of Protest to Rex Whistler's Königsmark Drawings in its original slipcase and a facsimile of Shakespeare's First Folio in publisher's quarter morocco. Ephemera and Americana collectors will find much to consider as well, from a 1938 New York World's Fair bulletin with its folding bird's-eye map to Central Intelligence Agency cartographic publications and a richly illustrated 1876 Asher & Adams Pictorial Album of American Industry. Across all categories, the sale is characterised by a pleasing mixture of scholarly substance and visual appeal, with signed and inscribed copies, scarce imprints, and fine bindings distributed throughout.
