A Rare Opportunity

Offered here is one of the finest private collections of the earliest printed books in English, certainly one of the largest, most complete private collection of its kind any place in the world. Ranging in date from 1495 to 1599, these 150+ books cover the reigns of several monarchs and topics from chronicles to poetry, from history to politics, and from religion to law.

It is a beautiful collection. But the collector has now reached an age that he realizes that he must part with his collection, and pass the beauty on to someone who will appreciate and enjoy it.  

The collection is appropriately priced. Serious parties are welcome to write for more detail.
