John Francis Fleming was born in New York City in 1910. At the

eventually promoted to salesman, manager, and by 1947, vice-president of the
Rosenbach Company. Rosenbach died in 1952; shortly thereafter, Fleming purchased
a substantial portion of his remaining book and manuscript collection. He
continued business as John F. Fleming, Incorporated out of Rosenbach’s former
apartment at 322 East 57th Street until his death in 1987. In his
career spanning six decades, Fleming was considered one of the most important
antiquarian booksellers in the United States and counted many celebrities and
well-known collectors among his clients.

This series contains material which was not previously arranged into subject
files. It contains imagery such as

collection, and sales and inventory books.
Press clippings and other publicity are also included and largely highlight
Fleming’s sales and purchases, as well as a large selection of publicity for Rosenbach: A Biography, which Fleming
co-authored with Edwin Wolf.
