Simon Beattie – Short List Catalogue 4
The Antiquarian book trade gets a good dusting down with this mould breaking approach to cataloging designed for Antiquarian bookseller Simon Beattie.
Simon specialises in books on European language and culture, sourcing rare and interesting pieces for specialist collectors and libraries all around the world.
Many dealers catalogues follow a generic and traditional formula; produced as 'listings' that seem to bypass a key ingredient: the joy of 'the book'.
Beatties' large format catalogue is a bibliophiles delight, celebrating his discoveries, showcasing and examining "The books you never knew you wanted" in all their eclectic glory.
This is the fourth catalogue in the series.
