A few Christmas-adjacent items for your holiday shopping needs. First edition of Chris Van Allsburg's Polar Express, $195. Facsimile first edition of Charles Dickens's Christmas Carol, $125. And a first edition of Clement Clark Moore's (of 'Visit from St. Nicholas' fame) Compendious Lexicon of the Hebrew Language, *inscribed by Moore*. (That one is a little pricier at $1850.)
*EDIT* We will be on a short schedule Monday, Dec 22 due to staff shortage. Probably 11-4:30 but call ahead to make sure. We'll be open as usual Tuesday, 12/23 (10-6). On Wednesday the 24th, we will be here at least until 4 p.m., but after that call ahead to see if we're still around. We will be closed Christmas Day and open again our normal hours on Dec. 26.
