Field notes
The catalog pairs short descriptions with subject and place labels, then lets visitors browse across color, binding, era, and topic. Its collections add a second route through the stock: “Previous owners” focuses on traces such as a curator’s letter, while “The language collectors” gathers books about recording and valuing speech. The homepage’s A-to-Z section lists 107 items, and individual listings show prices, including one marked “In a lot.”
