Twenty-one international dealers from the USA, UK, Australia, South Africa and elsewhere
 are participating in the current on-line auction present by auctionexplorerbooks.com where 
626 lots are being offered. One of the highlights is lot No. 1 a large paper copy of Ackermann's 
Cambridge, one of the key books in any collection of topographical colour plate books. Finely
 bound in full crimson straight-grained morocco, this copy comes from the collection of the 
Duchess of Cleveland. Lot No. 2 by contrast is a copy of the first edition of Churchill's 
Malakand Field Force. There are three other items of Churchillian interest in the sale. 
One of the joys of these auctions is that one can search using the category listings to 
the left of the screen on the home page.

As with previous sales there is a good mixture of items covering all fields of book 
collecting. The sale is strong in natural history including a good copy of the rare 
Rariorum Africanarum Plantarum by J. Burmann" (lot No. 131). Amongst the 
Americana on offer is J.L. Stephens, Incidents of Travel in Central America, 
Chiapas And Yucatan, (New Edition) John Murray, 1842. This is presented 
by David J. Holmes Autographs together with some items of literary interest. 
James W. Beattie has entered an important collection of German architectural 
drawings by Paul Ludwig Troost (lot No. 406), dating from c. 1934. By contrast 
Robert Muir Old and Rare Books are offering a first of Alice's Adventures in 
Wonderland and Barnaby Rudge Bookseller's have a copy of the Prophesies 
of Nostrodamus among their listings.

With so many lots there are bound to be those of a unique character. One such 
offering is an elaborate nineteenth album containing 120 Cartes de Visite 
(lot no. 335) all believed to be pupils of Eton College. Another is a roneo copy 
of a manuscript based on Illustrated London News reports of the Zulu War. 
The following lot is similar but based on reports in The Graphic. These are 
by no means the only lots of military interest.
