Weekly Highlights October 29th, 2021 | Brian DiMambro Virtual Book Tour


Happy Friday before Halloween, all! Welcome back to Brian's office where we take a spooky long dive into some of the wonderful items we cataloged this week. Ranging from a lovely folio plate book covering the cathedrals of Wells and Exeter, to a monumental Godey's lady book from the Civil War, to a wonderful early 20th century souvenir album of Amsterdam with some excellent street scenes. Is it an eclectic collection on items? Yes. Is there a theme this week? Not really, unless you count "interesting antiquarian books" as a theme. Which we do.

As always, the items in the video can be found on our website, www.briandimambro.com, by searching for the item you're interested in. Item numbers can be found below. Thanks for joining us, and we'll be back next week with another round up, plus daily videos looking at individual items in detail!
