BLOOMSBURY AUCTIONS CELEBRATES ITS 30TH ANNIVERSARY WITH THE LIKES OF SAMUEL JOHNSON, ALBERT EINSTEIN, IAN FLEMING AND JRR TOLKIEN
Today Bloomsbury Auctions sells more books and works on paper than any other auction house; as Rupert Powell the Deputy Chairman says, ‘We have undergone several changes of ownership, moves of location, technological revolutions and economic ups and downs, but when it comes to auctioning rare books, Bloomsbury remains the most dedicated, friendly and, in my (unbiased) opinion, best place to do business for buyers and sellers alike. Roll on the next 30 years!’
