Frances Steloff Collection


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.
