Speaking of hard to find, Oak Knoll has a collection of short runs and limited editions, while Lion Heart Autographs has a catalogue of one-of-a-kind autographed items. William Reese offers early American legal thought, James Jaffe covers literature, poetry, art and photography, Charles Wood has material culture and English country estates, while Libreria de Antano is focused on Latin America, Spain and Portugal. Helen Kahn covers a lot of ground in ?he Ways of the World ?16th-20th centuries," as does Forest Books with its ?iscellany 2," and Antiquariaat Forum with a selection taken to the recent New York Antiquarian Book Fair.
