Well, this is a strange one. 6000 sq ft. three story house in the Berkeley Hills built in 1913. Memorabilia of a world reknown poet, biographer, scientist, and all-around great guy. Also, stacking washer/dryer, a number of signed, numbered lithos and other art, some vinyl, ton of law books and Who's Who kind of books, a few vintage audio components, a few autographed books, an open fire safe, and a lot more. More than 200 PHOTOS.

We're holding back the address of this one until the morning of the auction. We will post the address here early that morning, as well as on the front page of the website, and we'll send a message to the list. If none of those work for you, call us at 408-422-2300 after 8:00 AM.
