Book Auctions
Another important specialist section at Harper Field, the book department features a wide range of genres from very early printed material through to modern first editions and more. We can offer advice on selling anything from a single volume to a large collection, and hold designated quarterly auctions.
Simon Weager is head of books at Stroud Auctions and oversees the cataloguing of the quarterly auctions. With over 30 years’ experience in this field, and in particular 19thC illustrated literature, he is more than happy to look at individual books or whole collections and regularly finds examples worth thousands in what could easily have been dismissed as an unassuming box of books.
