bought a book from them. Check this out, and see why:

Dante question by
J[_2_]
I was looking at one of my copies of THE COMEDY this evening, and
noticed that no translator was listed. It was published by Doubleday
in 1947 for the Literary Guild. The illustrations are by Umberto
Romano.
Does anyone know whose work the translation is?

An impossible book search by
David Harper
I have been looking for a particular book for over thirty years and have not
found anything about it. I know it exists because some of my friends from
two decades ago said they had a copy. And now those friends are lost too.
I am pretty good and searching for things but this one has me stumped....

Earliest Religious Instruction the Infant Mind is Capable of

Question re The Naked and the Dead by
Francis A. Miniter[_2_]
Does anyone here know the differences between the first
state dust jacket and the second state dust jacket? I
gather it has something to do with the writing on the back
of the dust jacket, and perhaps with the writing on the
front flap of the jacket.

mustard endpapers, maroon topstain, and five line colophon
