Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The William L. Clements Library of Americana at the University of Michigan
These sales were fruitful sources of growth for this Library, both through direct bids or afterwards through dealers. The suppressed offerings of many previous years, at auction and private sales, were concentrated into the period of the war. The Jones, Herman Edgar, Wallace, Benedict, and other less important collections, were sold, and some of their Americana is now on the shelves of this Library. The famous White or Nugget Sale also furnished some very rare books.
