  name: 'Salloch, William'
  note: |-
    Antiquarian bookseller. Born in Prussia in 1906, he studied medieval language and literature in Berlin and started a university career in Tübingen in 1932. In 1933 he married Marianne Blum. A year later William Salloch was not allowed to become a librarian at the Prussian State Library in Berlin, because his wife was of Jewish origin. 
    In the following years he worked in publishing houses and bookshops, then he and his wife emigrated to the United States in December 1936. William and Marianne Salloch founded their company WILL IAM SALLOCH. Old, Rare and Scholarly Books, 344 E 17th Street, New York, in the year 1939. While William Salloch joined the US Army in 1942, his wife Marianne kept up the business which was moved to Greenwich Village in 1946. This was the beginning of an impressive career in the rare book trade: William and Marianne Salloch specialized in incunables, manuscripts and Renaissance and Baroque literature. They published 422 catalogues – many of them became important reference tools. In 1957, the business moved to Ossining, N.Y.
    William and Marianne Salloch were founding members of the Antiquarian Booksellers‘ Association of America (ABAA),  William Salloch served as ABAA President from 1970 to  1972, and had been a member of  the ILAB Committee since 1975. Salloch’s private collection of books about books was exhibited at the Grolier Club in 1976, and again at the J. Regenstein Library, University of Chicago, in 1984.
