Our first auction for the year will happen on Friday 4^th February at high Noon.

Take a look here

As usual we have an eclectic mix of books, some  worth thousands of dollars each and some worth just a few dollars each but eachj lot is interesting and it has been fun to put together this offering.

Books from the seventeenth century through to some twenty first century choice items. 

Antiquarian, modern first editions, signed books, Australiana, sport and much more. Over 700 items to keep you amused and entertained.

In this covid time it is unlikely that we will have bidders present in the room but check with us the day or so before hand if you wish to attend. Government rules change from day to day and by then we may have a 16 year old girl driving the company forklift.

If you wish to view then please ring and make an appointment. Mask wearing is compulsory.

The auction will be live online. You may bid live during the auction or leave a bid with Invaluable. You can also arrange a telephone bid which does not attract the 5% Invaluable surcharge. Or you can leave a bid with us and we will bid on your behalf – this also saves you 5%.
