A catalog from Charles Davis appeared in my mailbox on Friday. 357 literature lots, and 356 are duplicates from the ANA library. The final lot is a charity auction for a Morocco binding of the auction catalog.
The catalog is also available online here. The online catalog seems identical to the printed one, except the page numbers are off-by-one.
Although the lots are duplicates, the ANA has a different meaning of duplicate than I do.
