New Book Catalogue

First edition of Beckett's `Proust' for £60

Dublin Bookbrowsers has just brought out a new catalogue of 315 items, many of which are ideally suited for Christmas presents. More than two-thirds of the entries are of specifically Irish interest, and they range from an early sketchbook by George Russell, dating from circa 1890 (£4,250), to an American first edition of Samuel Beckett's Proust (£60). A first edition of Flann O'Brien's At Swim Two Birds from 1939 is valued at £1,500, and a collection of Cuala Press publications includes work by W.B. Yeats at £3,750 and a three-volume set of Francoise Henry's writing on Irish art at £185. For further information and a catalogue, contact Dublin Bookbrowsers, tel. 01-2964212.
