Site update coming soon. With move to Dartmoor, the design of our service has been adapted to be more specific to selling specialist books on behalf of ex-collectors, retired academics and charities. International sales and the sales platforms we use have expanded.
Publishing, translation and related activities have been dropped.
Contact email and telephone number still work but business address is now EX20 4HP.
The contact phone number is a VOIP answerphone which sends your message to us by email for immediate response.
Meanwhile suggestions as to what info you would like to see on our website would be appreciated.

Royal Duke: Augustus Frederick, Duke of Sussex (1773-1843) 09/03/2020

A Royal namesake ???https://www.amazon.co.uk/Royal-Duke-Augustus-Frederick-1773-1843/dp/0283983167/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Royal+Duke+Mollie+Gillen&qid=1583755932&s=books&sr=1-1The sons of George III are sometimes lumped together and dismissed as 'Queen Victoria's wicked uncles'. Of them all, Augustus Frederick, Duke of Sussex, the sixth son, was perhaps the least deserving of the title. He was an active and outspoken champion of the great humanizing issues of his day - reform, abolition, emancipation - a keen student of the Bible, president of both the Society of Arts and the Royal Society, and for long Grand Master of British Freemasonry. But the Duke of Sussex was no plaster saint, His impulsive marriage to Lady Augusta Murray contravened the Royal Marriage Act, of which he was probably the most notable victoim, infuriated the King, and caused a furore in polite society.... the Duke .;..was made to feel all the drawbacks of his royal station while enjoying few of the advantages. (From the dust jacket inside flap of 'Royal Duke: Augustus Frederick DUKE OF SUSSEX 1773-1843)

In the late 19th century, Lever Brothers were giving away books. This is the back cover of a free copy of 'Last of the Mohicans' c. 1895. - Effective (eventually) against Typhoid cholera Diptheria and carbuncle germs!
