Our first catalogue to be distributed by digital means alone is not a move away from conventional printed catalogues distributed by Royal Mail to which we remain committed. Nor has the presence of stacks of books in virtually every room here at White House Farm necessitated our first ever sale catalogue. For, as we know, books do furnish a room. The inability to enter the parlour, however, has been something of a wake-up call. The wonderful Steve, the plasterer / builder / designer / improvisor who has worked for us on the restoration of three houses & the shop in Silent Street over the last 30 years, is now back in harness at White House Farm. And when he's finished his present job he's hitting the parlour. And the parlour is currently full. OK there are a few items of furniture stacked against the fitted bookshelves where the EFG collection lives, but the rest of this 17thC timber-frame parlour is floor-to-ceiling-full of boxes of books. So 'We have clearance Clarence!' Original prices are listed below but: All books are reduced to £8 each or 3 books for £20 Part I - Literature, History & Biography Part II - Art & Illustrated incl.
