The Rare Book Room Is Finished!

We have finally finished the rare book room! The chairs are plush, the shelves are dusted and settled in place, the mahogany tables are polished, AND the books are in order. I want to live in there; it's so cozy. I think the proprietor does as well, he fell asleep in there the other day. Once you close the french-style doors, it is relatively quiet.

We feature rare and collectible works-- some novels, some biographies, some children's books. A few notable pieces are:


A first printing, first edition of A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf

An illustrated, 1930s edition of 21 Delightful Ways of Committing Suicide by Jean Bruller

A signed, first edition/first printing of After Many A Summer by Aldous Huxley

A first edition, first British printing of Thackeray's Vanity Fair

A first edition, first British printing of Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov. This is interesting because, due to the controversial content, it did not get published in the United States until three years after it was published in the UK and France.


Anyway, come visit us and our rare book room or drop in to www.wellingtonsquarebooks.com and check out our inventory listed online.
