THE JOHN BUCHAN STORY
Peebles, Scottish Borders
Crask Books
Latest from Crask Books – July 2019
A short while ago I bought in a small collection of John Buchan books and these are listed on the
attachment. Descriptions are not always wholly adequate but I would mention that a good number of these
books are better than average. There is a good cross-section of titles and a wide range of prices.
Kind regards

Guides to John Buchan’s Writing by Peter Thackeray
– June 2019
In descriptions of John Buchan’s books there is often reference to ‘Blanchard’. In this article, Peter
explains the significance of the ‘Blanchard’ and the details of John Buchan’s writing. Please click on the
links below to read Peter’s articles.
Crask Books (formerly SMS Books) was formed out of my John Buchan collecting habit some 15 years ago.
Through a series of unexpected events we became, some 9 years ago, the largest dealers in the world of
books by and about John Buchan and his family. The aim is to keep as wide a range as possible but,
because of the extreme rarity of some of his works we can never have everything that was written by JB.

Reduced Books! - July 2019
Hello everyone
As part of my summer 'housekeeping' I have been considering titles and/or editions in which I am overstocked.
The outcome of this is that there is a number of books which I can offer at reduced prices for a short while. A list
of these is attached together with very brief details. Please contact me if you want more information about any
book.
If there are any you would like to buy please telephone (there is a voicemail)/email/write stating the title and
reference number. It is particularly important that the reference is quoted as these are outside my normal run of
ref. nos. The prices are all in GBP and exclude shipping/postage costs. These will be added at cost when the
order is confirmed + £1.00 towards packaging.
