HAPPY NEW YEAR

Christmas and Hogmanay have come and gone rather too fast and the book world is gradually winding up again.

I am now putting together a catalogue of American Press Books from the Hanson collection as well as a new Food and Drink catalogue, both of which should be printed by the end of February. If you are interested in either of these please let me know.

I have just acquired some lovely original proofs of wood engravings by Gill. Please contact me if you would like a full list.

Madonna and Child, The Shrimp by Eric Gill

New books will appear on the Recent Acquisitions page weekly so do keep looking. They are always fresh in stock and this is the only place to see them as I do not list books anywhere else on the internet. 

With best wishes for a happy, fun, healthy and prosperous 2012.
