GLANURES

What does a bookseller do all summer long? Gleaning.

A lovely drawing by Jean Etienne Liotard. A watercolor by Georges Braque for a refined book by René Char. A deluxe book illustrated by Henri de Toulouse Lautrec with 30 original lithographs. Bariana, the extremely rare first edition of the collection published by the founder of Fouquet's Bar. An important and beautiful set of illustrated catalogs from the Berggruen gallery. A captivating correspondence by Ernest Ansermet.  The bookseller gleans much, passionately.
