Source Title Important Maine Maps, Books, Prints and Ephemera
Description This auction, best understood as a sale of inventory rather than of a collection, nevertheless represents a concerted effort by Mr. Thompson to gather in a single place as much of the books and ephemera relating to the history of Maine as could be practically acquired. For future collectors of Maine material this catalogue becomes their inevitable companion, a bibliographical and price guide to much that a Maine collector may ever want or see.
Scope of Text "It is my hope that this catalogue will be of use to collectors, dealers, librarians and curators who deal with Mainiana. In general, there is virtually no literature that covers Maine maps after 1800, or with the field of Maine ephemera."
