Travel may be on hold in the hopefully short lived Age of Omicron but we have a luxurious alternative with these sumptuous books and signed limited edition Giclee prints from Leslie Gerry Editions. Find out more about Leslie in our article here. Most titles are available in Deluxe, Regular and Miniature Editions. Individual signed limited edition Gicleee prints are also available. We’re far from the only ones to recognise the quality of Leslie’s work. Jan Morris actually suggested her text, Venice , sit alongside his artwork for Venice Reflections.
Find out more about Leslie Gerry here. Our rare book shop offers many great ideas for gifts including signed first edition books, fine binding books, illustrated books, limited editions and original artwork.
You can also filter by year to find ‘year you were born gifts’. Whether you’re looking to sell first edition books or antiquarian books – or wondering where to sell limited edition books then please contact us. We’d be delighted to help. Please note that general knowledge Encyclopaedias were mass produced and unless printed before very rarely have value. We also offer a valuation service.
Find out what we’re looking for and how to tell if a book is a first edition. Limited edition books are produced in limited quantities. Many will have a limitation page showing the number of the book and frequently will be signed by the author or the illustrator. Although publishers started using number lines in the s, there isn’t a globally recognised standard.
There are many criteria to take into account. For a first edition books price guide use our guide and if you’re not sure please contact us. All books purchased from our site are meticulously packed – you can see our packing process here – and a snapshot of unprompted shop feedback from our bookshop customers. Binding type is not binary, so many sellers will leave this information blank and give a proper binding description in the full text of their cataloging comments.
This is fine, except for the fact that many of our users only want first or early editions and are seriously annoyed by the quantity of cheap paperbacks that are returned in their search results. If they try to avoid them by checking a binding option for hardcovers only then there is a real chance they may miss something they would want. So we give them an option that does that instead. There will always be a few paperbacks that slip through the cracks, but most of the junk will be removed.
Of course, there may be those who search on other sites for paperbacks only because they want the cheapest copy available of an ordinary book. In that case all you need to do is sort your results with the least expensive first. That should give you the best choice of what you want.
And you might even find a hardcover copy selling for less than all the others. Stranger things have happened. There is one new feature we have added to our redesign that appears to have gone unnoticed by most of our users. I hope that many of them will find it useful once they know that it is there. They might not have discovered it because it is invisible until invoked. When not being used it hides on the search results page. You may already have noticed the checkbox that sits unobtrusively in the lower left corner of each description.
It shows a set of 5 icons which indicate various things you can do with the books you have selected. The first of these lets you select ALL the books on that page with just a single click. Clicking the second icon will put all your selected items onto your clipboard. The third icon creates and populates a separate page that displays all your selected items useful for printing. The last icon can be used for sharing with social media.
For many, however, the most useful icon will be the one that looks like a tiny trash bin. Clicking on that tool lets you remove from your search results all the items that you have selected using the checkboxes. This is not a completely new feature. Our previous version was also able to do this, only with a few different steps. The new version was delayed because of a few backend improvements that proved to be more complicated than expected. We also told ourselves that it was a minor feature that only a handful of power users would be looking for while we worked to finish it off.
On that we were definitely mistaken. In all the feedback we have had so far during beta testing nothing has received more requests or comments than this feature and its omission. I hope you will have a chance to use it and the other tool tray features soon. More feedback is welcome, as always. Private Press. Works by Women. Gift Ideas. View All. View Category. Jane Austen.
