An unlikely bookseller in New York City became the leading dealer in rare Western Americana for most of the twentieth century.

Same Old Bill, Eh Mable! (WWI Centenary Series)
This early work by Edward Streeter was originally published in 1919 and we are now republishing it as part of our WWI Centenary Series. '"Same old Bill, eh Mable!"' is a cute comic work that takes the form of letters sent to a lover by an American soldier in the First World War and is a follow up to 'Dere Mable: Love Letters of a Rookie'.

The series forms a commemorative tribute to mark the passing of one of the world's bloodiest wars, offering new perspectives on this tragic yet fascinating period of human history. Each publication also includes brand new introductory essays and a timeline to help the reader place the work in its historical context.
Love and Death in the Great War
Love and Death in the Great War merges the stories of several American families with analysis of wartime popular culture. It argues that family, in lived experience and as symbolic motivator, gave the war meaning, recovering the conflict's personal dimensions. But that narrative had undergone transformative challenges by war's end.
As Long as We Both Shall Love
In As Long as We Both Shall Love, Karen M. Dunak provides a nuanced history of the American wedding and its celebrants. Blending an analysis of film, fiction, advertising, and prescriptive literature with personal views from letters, diaries, essays, and oral histories, Dunak demonstrates the ways in which the modern wedding epitomizes a diverse and consumerist culture and aims to reveal an ongoing debate about the power of peer culture, media, and the marketplace in America.
