I have recently re-located my office to Heversham at the southern end of the beautiful Lake District, and about 10 -15 minutes drive from either junction 35 or 36 on the M6 . The nearest stations are at Arnside and Oxenholme where visitors can be met. Although I have moved from Cheshire after many years I have experienced representatives in the the county and surrounding areas, if you have books to dispose of please contact me and one of us will be happy to pay you a visit. I buy in many areas - antiquarian, rare, interesting and unusual books, pamphlets and ephemera etc. As a member of the ABA ( Antiquarian Booksellers Association ) founded in 1906 and the oldest organization of its kind in the world, I am bound by the ABA's Code of Good Practice, arguably the most stringent of any in the field of art and antiques worldwide. Furthermore as a member I am expected to observe the highest professional standards. I am currently the Immediate Past President of the ABA ( 2021 ), have served on the ABA Council since 2000, managed the ABA Chelsea Book Fair for fourteen years, been a member of the ABA Olympia Book Fair Committee. I am also an International Mentor for the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers ( ILAB ) see www.ilab.org
