Dear Book World, My name is Aidan Kahn. My dad started Lux Mentis, Booksellers when I was really little. On Father’s Day seven years ago, I attended my first book fair and helped dad in the booth. Sally Lombard gave me two miniature books so that I “could have something to sell” that was mine and not dad’s.

Dad told me a long time ago that I should focus on one area that I could learn a lot about and–hopefully– become an expert. I told him that I really liked miniature books and he thought that sounded like a great idea.

I hand sold my first miniature at the Boston MARIAB show in 2007. Ever since then, I have been trying to learn about miniature books and look for them when we are at book fairs.

Nearly two years ago, Ms. Pistner emailed my dad and told him that she had read an article about my interest in miniature books and in being a bookseller. Most importantly, she asked if I would be interested in cataloguing a lot of miniatures that she had decided to deaccession. I said that I would LOVE TO do it.

I finished cataloging 100 miniatures last summer and the catalogue turned out great, people loved it, and we sold more books than I thought was possible. I even was admitted to the National Junior Honor Society this school year, in part because the committee was impressed with my catalogue. I had fun last year and I worked hard, but I wasn’t as efficient or thorough as I was this summer.

This year the 100 miniatures I did were all very different (we even had a Rubik’s Cube). I have completely read at least half of them (more than a couple are not in English). I had fun learning about mythology, history, publishers, illustrators, authors, and so many other things, but mostly I like how after working so hard all summer it’s all coming together to create something amazing.

My current plan is to issue a new catalogue when I have completed about 100 or so new titles. Please let us know if you would like to be on our mailing list. I hope you enjoy my second catalogue.

Remember: Buy a book ... Make a kid happy.

/s/ Aidan J. Kahn Bookman, Lux Mentis, Booksellers.

Dear Aidan,

Congratulations on your first year as a bookman. You certainly have proved yourself worthy of the title.

One of your great pleasures must be that you are attracting new people to the world of miniature books. Adding eighteen(?) first-time miniature book buyers at the ABAA fair in New York is certainly something you can really be proud of!

I wish you a successful career and all the joy and satisfaction that being a bookish person brings.

All best, /s/ Patricia Pistner

[The following is the Note written by Pat Pistner that was included in the my First catalogue.]

To my friends and fellow collectors,

Time and space, a question of relativity that has intrigued physicists, so too applies to this book collector.

My entree into the miniature book world commenced fifty two years ago with the publication, or should I say with the serendipitous pasting and stapling together of my first miniature book. Twenty four years later, I laid eyes on 3 Rahebs at a dollhouse miniature fair and that was the beginning! Many thousand books, some maturing and many years later, I had come to a crossroads. Where to focus? A difficult, but important decision.

It was time to divest, or in museum parlance, to deaccession. It was the desire to focus on a representative "History of the Book" in small format, that led me to part with a selection of my "small friends" to determinably acquire select books to round out my collection. In essence, if they were in a drawer, not on the shelves, those friends were regrettably destined to find a new home.

An opportunity presented itself when an article in "Fine Books and Collections" mentioned that young Aidan Kahn accompanied his dad, Ian, to an ABAA fair to sell miniature books. The ability to deaccession, and simultaneously to foster the next generation of miniature book dealers was compelling. The result of our collaboration is contained herein.

With best wishes to Aidan for a successful career!

Patricia Pistner
