A large selection (over 650 items) of material from the beginnings of authors' careers. Unlike other "First Books" catalogs, this list is not limited to merely first books, but instead contains many stories, poems, essays, and other works published by authors BEFORE they published their first books. In addition, there are many signed and advance copies of authors' first books. All material is united by the perspective that when these items were published, their authors were not well established and the works in this catalog had to stand on their own merits rather than their authors' reputations.
