Creator:
Gotham Book Mart.
Extent: 79 linear feet (95 boxes)
The Gotham Book Mart (1920-2006) was one of New York City’s most iconic bookstores during the 20th century. Founded by Frances
Steloff (1887-1989), the daughter of poor Russian-Jewish immigrants, the Book Mart became a social center for the New York
literati and a focal point for literary modernism in the United States. Steloff’s successor, independent literary manuscript
dealer Andreas Brown (1933-), maintained the store’s focus on avant garde and small press publications while incorporating
his own interests in postcards and genealogy. This collection contains 91 boxes of material relating to the daily operation
of the Book Mart; correspondence, biographical, and legal material from both Brown and Steloff; postcard and genealogical
material collected by Brown; photographs of the store, its employees, and events which took place there; and manuscripts and
ephemera offered for sale.
