Established 1982. Bookselling since 1969.


Since 2005 I have operated from a home office and warehouse space. As well as working on collection development with long-term private and institutional customers, in recent years I have increasingly advised on negotiation for sale or purchase of manuscript and specialist collections. Areas of interest include, twentieth century autograph and literary manuscript; author and publisher archives; theatre materials documenting writing and performance on the Australian stage; personal papers; small press materials; artists books. Emphasis in my inventory is toward published materials of Australian art (gallery ephemera to monograph and survey); Australian small press poetry; the fugitive printings of cultural and political moments and movements; unique items published and unpublished with focus on first appearance or association.
