[Vwoolf] Calling all book collectors!

[Emily Kopley]

Hi Catherine, Karen, Vara, and All,

A great question and I look forward to hearing what others collect. Jon
Richardson, whom Karen mentioned, has just begun (as of May) sending his
catalog out over email (in addition to or independent of hard copy). If
you'd like to receive his catalog, email him at Yorkharborbooks at aol.com.

And here is a bibliography of three more essays about collecting VW:


Beekman, William. *Virginia Woolf and the Hogarth Press. *New York: Grolier
Club, 2004. Fine softcover in an edition of 1500 copies printed for the
Grolier Club.



Lewis, Frederick. “Chasing the Moths.” *Textualities *[an online literary
magazine], 2005. <http://textualities.net/frederick-lewis/chasing-the-moths
>.



Langham, Linda.* Virginia's Pages: On Collecting Woolf's Books and Letters.*
Philadelphia: Linda Langham, 1994. Fine booklet.


*Note*: Langham's booklet was originally published in *Firsts: Collecting
Modern First Editions* 4 (April 1994): page 4, supplement #67. And Langham
published a similar essay in the proceedings of the 3rd VW conference, *VW:
Emerging Perspectives *(ed. Hussey and Neverow, intro by Lilienfeld, 1994),
under the title "Book Collecting: Virginia's Pages: Collecting Woolf's
First Editions & Letters."


*Also *-- of possible interest to some members of the listserv and some of
our students, there's a new prize specifically for under-30 women book
collectors, offered by Honey & Wax Booksellers. The deadline is July 15.
More info here:

I wish I had met Alex Zwerdling; his book on Woolf is a continuing
education. By coincidence I just read a TLS review of his last book, on
memoir, here: <

Best,

Emily
