An auction catalogue of this caliber is certainly an incredible source of information and reference but also a work of art in itself. This is the auction catalogue for the much-anticipated sale of the collection of The Garden Ltd. These were truly magnificent books (for example superb copies of Homer, Aristotles, Ptolemy, Bacon and Shakespeare, but also more modern writers) and interestingly, we can also include the price list for the sale. The catalogue is over one inch thick, lavishly illustrated and each item described in detail. This sale and its background has recently been the subject of an excellent chapter in N. A. Basbanes book "A Gentle Madness".
