Nearly 450 years of the bookmaker's craft are represented by the 94 lots being offered in this special single-owner auction. Opening with a 1499 printing of the <i>Gesta Romanorum</i>, the sale moves forward from the Renaissance to illustrate Western thought during the Reformation, the Enlightenment and the early modern era.

Online-Only Auction:
September 5-12, 2018

Online Bidding will begin to close:
Wednesday, September 12, 6:00pm EDT

This Online-Only Auction has a soft-staggered close; an additional five minutes is added to the close time for every 30 lots being offered (i.e. lots 1-30 begin to close at 6:00pm, lots 31-60 begin to close at 6:05pm, etc.). If any bids are received within the five minutes prior to a lot closing, the lot time will be extended for an additional five minutes (i.e. lot 1 receives a bid at 5:56pm, the time extends to 6:01pm). The five minute extension will continue to be applied until no further bids have been placed.

When placing a bid, you are welcome to bid the asking price, or you may enter your maximum bid and the system will competitively execute your bid for you.
