We research, value and auction a wide range of desirable books, maps and manuscripts – from antiquity to modern, including first editions, leather bindings, atlases and maps.

From Shakespeare and Charles Dickens to modern classics by JRR Tolkien and PG Wodehouse to Ian Fleming first editions, we handle all kinds of volumes from the populist to the obscure – such as a rare anthology of all the matches played by Nottingham Old Cricket Club between 1771 to 1829, which sold for £6,400.

It is with great sadness we lost Michael Winterton last night to the dreadful COVID-19. He was a wonderful auctioneer back at the old Smithfield Market in Lichfield and still regarded by many of the old farmers as the best on the rostrum ❤
