Early Printed Books
This spring?s Early Printed Book sale will feature the first part of the complete library of noted bibliophile and collector Ken Rapoport, who over a collecting career of more than fifty years amassed hundreds of sought-after rarities in literature.Swann is also pleased to offer a book from the library of bibliophile Jean Grolier, bound by the Royal Parisian bookbinder to François I, Etienne Roffet. With the provenance of Lucien Goldschmidt and a letter from Howard Nixon accompanying the volume, it presents a very rare opportunity to own a book once shared by the famed Grolier with his friends.We are also very pleased to offer a section dedicated to the study and history of economics, which includes many first editions by Nobel laureates in the field, a presentation copy of Adam Smith?s The Theory of Moral Sentiments, a first edition of Milton Friedman?s Capitalism and Freedom and several works by John Maynard Keynes.
