Designed and bound by Carol Collections" mentioned that young Aidan Kahn accompanied his dad, Schwartzott. Signed by the binder. 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 Addendum to the Miniature Section: herein. Dear Book World, With best wishes to Aidan for a successful career! My name is Aidan Kahn. My dad started Lux Mentis, Booksellers when I was really little. On Father’s Day six years ago, I attended my first book /s/ fair and helped dad in the booth (I even wore coat and tie). Sally Patricia Pistner Lombard gave me two miniature books so that I “could have something to sell” that was mine and not dad’s. Now, six years later, I am issuing my very first catalogue [I just realized I have been a bookseller more than half my life].

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. I have been trying to learn about miniature books and look for them when we are at book fairs.

About 8 months ago, a collector of miniature books emailed my dad and told him that they had read an article about my interest in miniature books and in being a bookseller. Most importantly, they asked if I would be interested in cataloguing a lot of miniatures that they had decided to deaccession. I said that I would LOVE TO do it.

I have just finished the first 100 books and they are all catalogued here (plus a few extras that I already had). It was really fun to catalogue these books and I learned a lot doing so. Most are from the 20th century, with a smattering of 19th century books. 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 first catalogue. Remember: Buy a book ... Make a kid happy. /s/ Aidan Kahn Lux Mentis, Booksellers – 207.329.1469 – luxmentis.com – [email protected]
