Our approach
Our book trade goes back to the Dalkey shop. Today we are particularly interested in Irish books and copies that carry more than just bibliographical value — association, provenance, inscriptions or a distinctive physical history.
Current eBay-related search terms reflected in our stock include: Rare Victorian Moore’s Irish Melodies, Irish association copy, antiquarian Irish books, Victorian books, rare Irish books.
We favour original material with age, context, provenance, studio marks, annotations, names, dates or other evidence that allows us to research and describe it properly.
