Michael J. Osborne Books is pleased to present rare, uncommon, irresistible, and eclectic, books, magazines, and letters spanning four centuries. Here you will find not only the amazing and beautiful craftsmanship found in designer book bindings by the acclaimed fine bookbinder, Don Rash, but also the complete seventy-six volumes of Niles’ Register published from 1811-1849, first as Niles’ Weekly Register, then as Niles’ National Register: it was national in scope, and remains, the source of the mid-nineteenth news for those interested in the history of the United States of America. Also, in the mid-nineteenth century are books about travel, the exploration of the American West, and later the polar exploration of the Arctic and Antarctica -- even a rare souvenir book from Peking. It’s all here: important photography, history, literature, medicine, travel, exploration, letters, even spontaneous human combustion.
