Lovely, Dark and Deep - 2026

Lovely, Dark and Deep - 2026

Assembling the trove of Robert Frost material in this catalogue was the work of decades. Herein, 71 items signed or inscribed by Frost, spanning his first to his final published work – including nearly three quarters of the bibliographer’s “A” list of his books and pamphlets published during his lifetime. And, of course, more besides, including signed letters, Christmas cards, manuscript and souvenir poems, and even a legal document.

Extraordinary First Editions - 2024

Extraordinary First Editions - 2024

This catalogue features a singular collection of first edition book-length works by Winston S. Churchill - 55 individual items containing a total of 125 volumes which, together, are one of the finest Churchill first edition collections in the world. This collection was amassed over a period of more than thirty years by a single collector. A few of the items are merely special. The majority are extraordinary. Some are likely unique. Nearly all would be standouts in any collection. While this catalogue is about far more than signed or inscribed items, 13 of the 55 items herein are significantly signed or inscribed, 9 of these by Churchill. The Churchill signatures span 1900 to 1964, the entire arc of Churchill’s long and storied political career.

Inhabited By Winston - 2022

Inhabited By Winston - 2022

This catalogue features Winston Churchill’s words, inscriptions, and signatures, in his own hand, spanning more than 66 years of his long life. From 31 August 1896 to 11 October 1962. From his ambitious and untested youth to his venerable twilight. Despite the length of this catalogue and the great span of Churchill’s life encompassed, there are only 15 items. We chose a small number of truly compelling items. All have a story to tell. Hence we gave each a each a broader scope of inquiry, consideration, and narrative discourse. We enjoyed sussing and writing. May you enjoy reading.
