Melbourne Rare Book Week books & sales

Welcome.

I hope that you enjoyed my exhibition “You Can’t Draw in Books?”  at Melbourne City Library as part of Melbourne Rare Books Week .If you have not seen the exhibition and are curious about any of the drawings in  the books, email me and I will send a photo of the image.

These previously valueless books,  about to be discarded, now have a value and are all available for purchase. Below is a price list of all the books in the exhibition . (I was going to post thumbnail images, but the technicalities overwhelmed me)  Locate the book that you would like to purchase and email me at aduke(Replace this parenthesis with the @ sign)tpg.com.au. I will send a Paypal invoice or arrange other bank account payment. Delivery/collection is after 16 August as I am on holidays sketching in England until then.

Please note : You are purchasing the whole book, condition as is. It is yours to decide to take pages out and frame them or have the book open on the shelf or shelve the book and read it one day and get a nice surprise on one page. (If you choose use the pages and remove them and I am happy to take the book back and draw in it again).
