TWO IMPORTANT AMERICAN JEWISH BIBLIOGRAPHIC REFERENCE WORKS
Dear Friends,
We are proud to make available 2 important bibliographic reference works on American Jewish history--one brand new and one over 70 years old.
The New work will be of great interest to scholars, librarians, and collectors of all sorts; it is:

Printed on high-quality glossy paper. Research and editing by Ari Kinsberg. Sure to become a standard reference work. New Condition.
The work includes an exhaustive bibliography of 1208 items, extensively annotated with bio-bibliographical information, historical context, scholarly references, approbations, and location of copies in libraries world-wide.
The bibliography is chronologically arranged within broad subject or format (e.g., Bible, liturgy, Haggadah, reference works, education, periodicals, Rabbinica, etc.) with 13 indexes, including Hebrew and English titles and authors, imprint places and years, publishers, printers, approbations, subscribers, typesetters, music arrangers, and artists.
Included are reproductions of most title pages and selected interior pages, as well as appendices containing reproductions of relevant manuscripts and portraits of early American rabbis.
The work is also supplemented by extensive bibliography of pertinent scholarly books and periodical articles (p. 1135-1154).
Price is $450.00. Domestic shipping is $15.00. International shipping is $30.00
