PRESENTING LEIGHTON GALLERIES' PREMIER BOOK AUCTION Offering Rare & Collectible Books, Leather Bound Sets, Autographs, Photographs, Napoleonic, Historical & Political-Related Items including Sculpture & Prints, Militaria, Ephemera and other related materials? all for sale to the highest bidder. Featuring a collection from the Estate of A.J. Marino of Weehawken, New Jersey. Mr. Marino left behind several inventory notebooks (spanning from the 1930's through 1960's) as well as correspondences to historical and other noted individuals, shedding light not only on his passion for collecting but also his interest in American history and politics. Mr. Marino was not only an avid collector on the matters of historical and political affairs, he was also a true American Patriot. We have been commissioned to sell Mr. Marino's property by his grandchildren, who, sadly never had the privilege of meeting him.
