Rainford & Parris offers seven children’s books by Penelope Lively, each at a three-figure price.
This plate is from the first edition of Traicté des manières de graver en taille douce sur l’airin, the first French book on printing. Notable for its completeness, it was aimed at the professional engraver and the amateur. Knuf Rare Books prices it at £2700.
At the PBFA London Antiquarian Book Fair, from June 6-7 at Ibis London in Earls Court, Rainford & Parris brings a collection of seven children’s books by Penelope Lively.
