Show Notes
We begin this episode with Michael bemoaning a missed opportunity to buy the head of Albert Einstein, and then we welcome Darren Sutherland, Senior Specialist in the Fine Books and Manuscripts at Bonhams Auctions, to discuss two upcoming sales. The first is a fascinating single-owner complete collection of books from the Kelmscott Press, assembled by a man described as having “the most remarkable taste in the arts”. And the second is just a regular mashup sale with some curious and lovely offerings including Sylvia Plath's beloved cook book, an early note by young Kafka, and more.
