Books from a Major Collection - 7
24th July 2026
Hello everyone
I hope you have coped with the recent heat wave(s). To help take your mind off the heat here is another selection from the collection I
have been dealing with. This will be the last email regarding these books, although there will be one more in a week or two dealing
with low cost ephemera (the bookseller's term for "odds and ends that don't fit anywhere else"!).
This list, as always, includes a wide selection and includes a few rarities. The usual ordering notes follow the main body of the email.
As I move towards winding down Crask Books, I am aiming to bring to sale some real rarities - titles which only come up for sale
occasionally or are speciaal for some other reason. Most of these will be priced at £50 and upwards so I want to create a separate
email group for those who will be interested in this area of the market. If you would like to be be part of this group, and thus receive
emails regarding sales, please drop me an email asking to be included in the "Crask Rare Books mail group". It will probably be late
August/early September before the first one is sent out, so you have a few weeks to think about it. I may occasionally offer some
items on a closed-bidding basis where their rarity makes pricing difficult.
Finally, some welcome news. It looks as though someone will take over the role of specialist John Buchan dealer from Crask Books.
I'm please at that, as between Roy Court at Bannatyne Books, Michael Ross at Avonworld Books and myself we have offered a
specialist John Buchan book dealer service for 40 years +. More news on this in 2 or 3 months.
Please click HERE to view the list and click HERE to view the pictures.
The usual ordering system applies and is set out below. If you do not want to receive any more of thee emails, just click 'Reply' (not 'Reply all') and send the simple
message 'Delete'.
Ordering Notes:
•
All prices are in GBP (pounds sterling) indicated by the symbol £.
•
All prices exclude shipping/postage. This will be calculated and advised to you with confirmatio
•
An invoice will be emailed to you or sent with the books; this will also include details of the payment methods available.
•
Card payments (credit or debit) cannot be processed.
•
Always happy to answer questions about the books.
•
If you no longer wish to receive emails from Crask Books please reply with the simple message ‘Delete’.
