Hello Colleagues,

I’ve got a number of the scarcer Commentary volumes of Walter Strauss’

The Illustrated Bartsch. New Edition, Abaris Books, New York.

Many of the commentary volumes were lost during a fire in Abaris’ warehouse, I am told.

The following volumes are available. Each in qto, cloth, very fine copies unless noted.
