This 19 volume set of The Development of the Italian Schools of Painting has been with us for a long long time. It has been the standard reference for all things Italian-Renaissance for nearly a century - but it’s not doing anyone any good gathering dust in our art reference section. Usually sells for $400 and up, but we’d rather move it into a new home than hold out for a competitive price — $150 and it’s yours. All 47 lbs and 11,000 pages of it.

Speaking of mothers, we’re pleased to offer this quartet of books by the Founding Mothers of NPR. Susan Stamberg, Linda Wertheimer, Cokie Roberts and Nina Totenberg have been informing, educating, and inspiring us over the always-free airwaves of Public Radio for more than 50 years. At a time when the government is waging war on independent voices, the precedence they set (and the bar they are still raising) is more important than ever. All four volumes are autographed — $100 for all 4 of them together — (we have a individual copies of a couple of them as well, if you don’t need the set)

If you are a surgeon in the 1950s and unsure what to do with all your favorite articles about ulcers and amenorrheas and microradiography and the gastrointestinal tract (because the really good articles are mixed in with mediocre ones in all the journals), one clever solution is to take them all to a bookbinder and get them bound up all together with leather spines and with your name stamped on each. That way you’ve got them all together for future reference and you can annotate them. It also solves the problem of what to do with three feet of shelf space that you can’t think of anything to put on. These surgical articles in 11 volumes are just $15 apiece or $150 for all.
