We've taken in a large collection of military history volumes, mainly WWI & II books, and they're now priced, shelved and waiting to be browsed. Some rarities, many out of print firsts, and all in strong very good to fine condition. A hearty thanks to the chap who chose to sell them on to us. They're already shifting steadily and finding new homes. Scroll for a selection. DM for prices etc. Mail order option if you can't make it to Buxton.

Three from Aleister Crowley now available in store. Diary of a Drug Fiend (first U.S. reprint 1987); Selected Poems edited with an introduction by Martin Booth (Crucible/Aquarian Press 1986); and The Confessions (Routledge & Kegan Paul 1987). I don't expect these to stick around for long, such is Crowley's pull still. DM to claim/enquire.
