Another Great Auction
A substantial collection of English-language non-fiction books, primarily hardcovers and some softcovers, likely dating from the mid-20th century to the early 21st century. The lot presents a strong emphasis on British railway history and operation, consistent with market listings for ‘Railway Books’ and ‘Steam Books’. The items are grouped by theme: one box is predominantly focused on British railway history and operation, with visible titles including “BRITISH STEAM RAILWAYS,” “ALL CHANGE!,” and “GREAT RAILWAY JOURNEYS.” A yellow basket contains automotive repair manuals and histories, including specific volumes for “Volkswagen 1200, 1300, 1500, Beetle and Karmann-Ghia 1954-67,” “1100 Mk1 1962-67 Austin Morris MG Riley Vanden Plas Wolseley,” and a black manual with “HERALD 1200, 1250, VITESSE & SPITFIRE” printed on the spine. A second box holds military history and biographical works, with titles such as “Battle of Britain Memorial Flight OPERATIONS MANUAL,” “GALLIPOLI,” “THE MAKING OF THE BRITISH ARMY,” and “ROOSEVELT AND CHURCHILL 1939-1941.”
