Catalogue Two

Simon Finch Rare Books had shops in Mayfair, Notting Hill and Norfolk. This enabled us to handle different types of material in each setting. Now that we are in one location at Voewood, disparate subjects jostle together.

The link between Bracton's De Legibus and the work of Throbbing Gristle might not be immediately apparent but we are always searching for the relationship between things and are pleased with the way distinct and seemingly unconnected books, manuscripts and objects play off each other in this catalogue.

One of the best aspects of bookselling is being able to tell a story. There are lots of stories here. When you dig deeper into what lies beneath the surface of a collection of books, various tangential connections emerge and we have enjoyed seeing the material in this catalogue come to life in this way and we hope that you do too.
