Catalogue #1 - Dante Alighieri
Booksby Press of Parma, Ohio has published the first book of Book Hunter's Holiday owner Chris Lowenstein. Etiquette for Booksellers, Or, Learn from My Mistake was published in December, 2021 in a limited edition of 200 copies. The book, a miniature, is bound in handmade marbled papers over boards. The marbled papers were made by acclaimed book artist Steve Pittelkow. Etiquette for Booksellers is the first in a new series of miniature books by Booksby Press entitled Book Culture and is available for $25 plus shipping.

Although we have not updated it for some years, our blog, Book Hunter's Holiday: Adventures in Books and Manuscripts (2007-2012) may be a helpful resource for information on how to become an antiquarian bookseller.
Our participation in a short documentary film called "Dante in History" on the video game Dante's Inferno (Electronic Arts, 2010) is discussed here.
