The New Jersey Historical Society had some very good luck auctioning
off part of their non-New-Jersey holding through Swann Galleries (telephone:
(212) 254-4710; fax: (212) 979-1017; website: www.swanngalleries.com).
I have had less luck with local book dealers, but I would be
interested in learning more about other institutions' experiences.
