We are very excited to announce that we have acquired the Roger Easson and Kay Parkhurst Easson collection of William Blake and his circle, comprising some 1700+ books and prints by and about Blake, Palmer, Fuseli etc. Enquiries by author, title, or subject will be processed in the order received, and it is likely that we will be able to supply almost any standard book(s) in the fields mentioned.

In addition, we have also acquired the Roger Lipman Collection of William Blake, which features most of the high spots of Blake collecting such as "Illustrations of the Book of Job", The Dante suite, "Leonora", Thornton's "Virgil", Hayley's "Ballads" 1802 and 1805 (original boards), the Cumberland card, the Canterbury Pilgrims print, etc. -- in all, about 200 of Blake's finest books and separate plates and standard reference books.

We have a printed catalogue, and a PDF version, available online or in hard copy by request. Please enquire for any specific titles you may be looking for.

We have also acquired a huge collection of the work of Arthur Rackham, which is offered by catalogue or online at our Children's Book Gallery Catalogue 4 (available by mail or by going to www.childrensbookgallery.net).

A fine collection of Mountaineering will be our next catalogue, due in March 2010. This will be followed by a catalogue of fine and rare books in all fields, including illuminated manuscripts, incunabula and early printed books, and fine bindings and illustrated books. Some of these items are now available on line; for others, please enquire.
