A Book of Songs and Poems from the Old Testament and the Apocrypha, the Ashendene Press book of 1904 shown right, has in the past made as much as £2000 at auction.
That was paid for one of the 25 vellum copies issued, but though this example is one of the 150 copies on paper that made up the main run of the edition, it sold for £4500 at Bonhams (25/20/12.5% buyer’s premium) on November 27.
