This is a list of my bookbinding book collection, which has been lovingly assembled piece by piece over a period of more than thirty years.


To produce this list, I used my old computer database, to which I gave birth in the seventies, long before “Windows” and “multi tasking”, but which runs, like a dream, on my modern computer. It was never intended for anyone other than myself. Some of the entries are “personalised” with comment, it also lacks detailed description and collation, the punctuation is flawed as is the grammar, and it lacks foreign accents and refinement. So please excuse the multitude of faults.


Abbreviation have been kept to a minimum,

except for t.e.g. (top edge gilt), a.e.g. (all edges gilt).

Covers are cloth, books complete, place of printing, London

(unless otherwise described).


£155,000.00

To be sold only as a collection.





The collection can be viewed at my home, by appointment.
