Welcome to Wool House Books (specialising in Manuscript Material) If like me you are fascinated by catalogues, and read them with the avidity of a good novel then please enter the site and browse at your leisure. Entering a website like this should be like entering a good second hand book shop; you never know what you might stumble across. I can't promise you that title you are looking for, but I think I can promise there is a good chance you will find something interesting, something that you haven't seen before; something that might take you down a path that you had no idea existed. Maybe an author will be new to you; maybe an odd take on a familiar subject will draw your attention. I have a particular interest in manuscript material; diaries, letters, etc; material which opens a window onto the past. It is the kind of material which I hope will appeal especially to historians, who represent the ideal destination for such items. |
