Virtual Book Fair Today

We are pleased to be exhibiting at Getman's Virtual Bibliophilic Holiday Gift Fair, featuring more than 200 dealers from around the world. The fair begins at noon EST today and runs through Monday. If you haven't been to a virtual fair, this is a great way to go shopping without leaving your home. And who isn't doing a lot of that these days?

Sawtooth Books is excited to offer a number of new arrivals, including some uncommon books of poetry, part of a large collection that I recently acquired. Among the books will be rare signed first editions of Louise Gluck's The Wild Iris and Ararat, a signed first edition of the scarce hardcover of The Tennis Court Oath by John Ashbery, signed firsts of Joan Didion's Slouching Towards Bethlehem and Margaret Atwood's The Edible Woman, and a signed first of Anthony Bourdain's Appetites: A Cookbook.
