Antique & Collectors Book Sale

Firstly, please note that all lots within this sale catalogue are used and have varying levels of use and age-related wear. However, we can inform that all entries have come from the same vendor, whom, was the owner of an established book shop.
There are some new and remaining alterations that we are making to our sales, they are as follows:
1- There will continue to be no viewing for this sale. Each lot has a description based on the information we have. Furthermore, there are multiple images to accompany each lot (which can be zoomed in on). If there is a question you have (that cannot be answered through the description or images) please contact us via email.
2- The sale will continue to be held from home; however, we will be working with a further reduced workforce.
