A wonderful bookseller and small press, Oak Knoll is located in New Castle, Delaware, and does business chiefly, I believe, via their website, which you can visit HERE. They specialize in "books about books", with an extensive catalogue encompassing the history of printing, print-making, bibliography, literary forgery (my favorite!), book binding, book design, typography, calligraphy, and lots more, featuring collectible old books and new books that they publish themselves. I've done business with them quite a few times, and have nothing but praise for their business practices, their mastery of their field, and their care and feeding of their customers. I've just received my latest purchase from them, "Blake and Tradition" by Kathleen Raine, published by Princeton University in 1968, in a beautifully bound, lavishly illustrated two volume edition in slip-case. Oak Knoll sold this to me for the remarkably decent price of $125, and packaged it for shipment so beautifully that I almost wept as I unwrapped it. Herschel Browne

I recently met Nan, the owner of Silver Magpies through an event that I run. She specializes in silver sales and valuations on new and antique pieces. I found her extremely knowledgeable regarding not only silver valuations, but also the overall craftsmanship, history, cleaning and all things silver. And she is extremely nice and willing to talk to you about any questions before or after you use her services. I purchased a couple pieces of silver goods from her and have been really happy. And she is who I will use for any future silver valuations I need for work or home because in talking with her, reading her website and blog I could tell she really knew her stuff. She offers such good customer service and is really a nice person. So if you are interested in learning more about your silver collections, having it valued or buying some silver pieces I would definitely check her out. http://www.silvermagpies.com/ Katelin Moomau
