Here in the American South, we’re heading into the dog days of the summer, the walk-outside-and-immediately-feel-soaked sort of humidity that slaps visitors right in the face the moment they walk off the plane. “It’s not the heat. It’s the humidity that gets ya!” But sweet tea and sunglasses abound — praises be — and we love our AC around here. So it’s no surprise that every afternoon, I find myself inside, hiding from the heat, a good book in my hands.

You can read Bradford Morrow on Poe’s Tamerlane here. Auctions are unpredictable beasts. If you approach them thinking you know how they will behave, you do so naively. Some lots sell far higher than expected, others much lower, and there’s often no explaining why. Competition can be furious as the auctioneer fields bids from potential buyers on the phone, online, and from collectors and dealers in the salesroom. And then, sometimes all three platforms stall out and a rarity like Ernest Hemingway’s first book, Three Stories & Ten Poems (1923), untrimmed and unopened in its fragile glassine jacket, gets “bought in”—auction-speak for fails to sell.
