Books & Manuscripts Auctions
Anderson and Garland Auctioneers hold dedicated book auctions three times per year, which include Manuscripts, Antiquarian Books, Modern First Edition Books and Maps. Some Antiquarian and other general books of more modest value are sold in our fortnightly Town and County Auctions.
