SCOTTISH CHARITY NUMBER SC042519
BLACK FRIDAY SALE
November 2024
Hello everyone
This is in fact the latest of my regular sales and just happens to coincide with Black Friday. This time the theme is
books edited by or with a contribution by John Buchan. However, these are not solely for the Buchan collector as often
his contributions are merely a preface or foreword of 1 or 2 pages and the list includes books on a wide range of
subjects and both non-fiction and fiction works.
Taken at random, the subjects dealt with include the following:
•
Essays of a 16th/17th century philosopher and statesman.
•
Soldier's tales from World War I.
•
A history of Belgium & Luxembourg.
•
Scots poetry through the ages.
•
The 450th anniversary of Glasgow University.
•
Gaelic stories and poetry.
•
Pre-WWI papers given at an organisation devoted to discussion of international and military affairs.
•
Satirical WWI cartoons.
•
Robert Browning's poetry.
•
Lectures given to the Vernacular Circle of the London Burns Club.
•
A Mary Webb novel.
•
A biography of a 17th century Archbishop of Glasgow.
•
Early issues of The Oxford Society magazine.
•
Publshing in the 1890s.
•
Nova Scotian short stories.
•
Fishing
and many more. Plenty of potential Christmas presents for Bibliophiles, including a number of rare/scarce works
Kind regards
Peter Thackeray

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. For full details of all our services, for a current stock list or for any book-related queries you can contact
