Buyer's premium:

A substantial collection of approximately 60-70 used books, predominantly English-language paperback editions dating from the mid-20th century onwards. The collection features numerous iconic Penguin Books, recognizable by their characteristic orange, white, and black spines and distinct penguin logo. Also included are several older, more traditionally bound cloth or leatherette hardcover editions. Authors represented span classic and modern literature, such as George Orwell (*Animal Farm*), F. Scott Fitzgerald (*The Great Gatsby*), William Thackeray, Jane Austen (*Pride and Prejudice*), Emily Brontë (*Wuthering Heights*), Robert A. Heinlein (*Starship Troopers*), Alexander Solzhenitsyn (*August 1914*), and Anthony Trollope. The collection exhibits a diverse range of works, including titles by German authors like Gottfried von Strassburg and Ernst Jünger, and an Italian title, “Il giorno della civetta” by Sciascia, which features a ‘Paesaggio campestre di Egon Schiele’ cover. Visible ISBNs confirm mass-market paperback editions from the period.
