The Book Farm

The Book Farm was a book collection and reprint publishing house under the direction of idiosyncratic bibliophile Charles Heartman (1883–1954).[1] It moved with the Heartmans from Hattiesburg, Mississippi to Biloxi to New Braunfels, Texas, to New Orleans. Heartman is best known for his bibliographies What Constitutes a Confederate Imprint?: Preliminary Suggestions for Bibliographers and Catalogers (1939) and North American Negro Poets: a Bibliographical Checklist of Their Writings from 1760–1944 (1945).[2] Heartman collected widely but had a particular interest in African-Americana.[3]
