My November list is a true miscellany; you will find everything from classic Western Americana sets, to a few illustrated books, California history, a few poetry books, and much more.

My December list consists of nearly 50 items all relating to the wonderful City by the Bay – San Francisco. There are items relating to the Panama Pacific International Exposition, the Midwinter Exposition, the Golden Gate Bridge, the 1906 earthquake and fire, the San Francisco Fire Department and more.
