Slowly updating fromoldbooks.org/books-for-sal books for sale page.

I am not a bookseller by trade, but have accumulated hundreds of books over the years, and there are too many. The strategy is to try and sell exceptionally interesting ones first and maybe have money for groceries, too!

Some of these i bought to study the layout and typography (e.g. the Four Gospels fac simile). Which i did.

Hmm,#OakKnollBooks sent me an email flyer for an artists book inspired (i think) by The Scarlet Letter. But i can’t buy it, the word spacing on page 28 is unacceptable.

Plus it costs more than our bank account.
