SPRING 2008
Our next book fair event is at Bath on the 16th and 17th May. www.bathbookfair.com We hope to see you there. This is at the Assembly Rooms which is a brilliant and central venue. At this event we will focus on our modern movement books in art, design, architecture and photography.
Our next hand list will focus on conservation of buildings, interiors, and settings with a selection of books on conservation of paintings. We have been lucky enough to purchase two academic collections in these fields which will form the core of the list. We hope to issue this list at the end of April.
Don't forget that we add books to our website every week so it is always worth having a browse but better still give us a call if you cannot find what you are looking for. Please consider ordering your new books from us too. We can often offer competitive terms.
