Tips for Book Collectors
The internet is widely regarded to have depersonalized many things, bookselling and collecting included. Just search for something, click a few buttons and make the order, no contact needed!
Wrong, contact is everything.
If you are serious, then build personal connections with dealers, that’s how you get the best books.
Remember, when it comes to selling rare books it is a sellers market.
Now, whilst we recommend getting in touch directly with dealers this is not a carte blanche to get in touch with us. Our tolerance levels are low as is our boredom threshold.
Every now and then though, you do meet decent people, straight forward, no nonsense or BS.
Just got off the phone from one such guy, Our Man in Surrey as he will be known henceforth, the perfect case in point.
So here is the result, all those people that have spent years looking for the book that was just sat here - unlucky!
Gone to the man who is worth talking to!
