Frances Steloff founded the Gotham Book Mart in New York in 1920. In 1974, the
NMSU Library purchased a large portion of the bookstore's stock which included
many titles personally collected by Miss Steloff. The collection reflects the
interests of Miss Steloff--poetry, literature, the theater and fine arts. Many of
the titles are first editions and autographed editions by such authors as William
Burroughs, Norman Mailer, John Dos Passos, e.e. cummings, and Ernest
Hemingway. |
