National Book Auctions, located in Ithaca, NY, will host a Sunday, January 8th auction featuring a broad range of rare antique and vintage books, as well as a fine collection of deluxe, limited bindings and an array of ephemera lots. Of particular note are substantial collections of printings by The Limited Editions Club, Easton Press and The Franklin Library including hundreds of signed first editions and signed limited editions, most of which are housed in handsome, deluxe leather bindings. The books in these collections are impressive both for their quality and condition.
