I have found Biblio to be a mix of antiquarian and popular, and have
contributed some of both:
recent acquisitions via biblio: Henry More's The Grand Mystery of
Godliness, 1660
Taylor's Aristotle's Ethics, etc.,
2d ed, 1818
recent sales via biblio: Chamber's Encyclopedia, 1728
1688 treatise on Shroud of Turin
misc Aldines
Kenneth Patchen limited/signed 1946
etc.
misc soft-core photography, sleaze
Swinburne 1st editions.
Perhaps not all popular. I was also able to discuss some oddities in my
copy of John Dewey's Psychology with a Dewey collector, find a collector
who wanted beat-up 16th century ecclesiastical histories, etc.
