Greetings,
Due to an impending need to down-size my home, and a shift in my
interests, I have reluctantly decided to dispose of my library of
seventy (70) sundial-related books accumulated over the last 30-odd
years. The library includes both old classics (e.g. Stone, E. (1758)
/The construction and principal uses of mathematical instrument.
Translated from the French of M. Bion, … /Facsimile edition 1972, The
Holland Press Ltd, London) and new classics (e.g. Schechner, S.J. (2019)
/Time of our lives. Sundials of the Adler Planetarium/. Adler
Planetarium, Chicago.)
With few exceptions, the books are in excellent condition with original
binding. A very few are bound photocopies.
I'm not sure what the library would cost to assemble today, but it would
probably exceed $AUD1,000, and some of the titles are now out-of-print
and impossible to find. Rather than fiddling around selling them
individually on eBay etc, I'd prefer that they went en-bloc to a sundial
enthusiast, such as a list member. Consequently, I am offering the lot
to a list member living in Australia. There's only three conditions:
1. Price is $AUD300 for the lot.
2. NO cherry picking. Take the lot, or take none.
3. Whoever gets the books pays for any transport / freight costs.
Alternatively, they can be collected from northern Sydney (supply your
own cartons!)
Please contact me off-list for a complete list of the books.
Cheers, John
Dr John Pickard
