Books, Maps & Manuscripts

Our Books, Maps & Manuscripts category includes a wealth of collectors' items with significant cultural and historical value. Ever since man began gluing papyrus scrolls together, written documents have been prized by collectors. The same is true of maps, which have been collectors' items for centuries. Our Manuscripts subcategory also includes autographs, which have a surprisingly long history in their own right.
Literary works both old and new comprise popular listings within Auctionet's Books subcategory – especially illustrated works – particularly first editions.
When it comes to maps, older, hand-coloured examples are in especially high demand, as are antique terrestrial and celestial globes.
Auctionet's most sought-after autographs are those of famous athletes, musicians, politicians and cultural icons.
Auctionet's catalogue of sold items includes miniature terrestrial globes from the 18th century, including examples produced by Anders Åkerman, and an album of photographs taken by Axel Stake in connection with Swedish polar explorer S. A. Andrée's failed 1897 balloon expedition. Also, a poster advertising Jimi Hendrix' gig at Malmö's Bongo-New Orleans club on 23 May 1967 signed by the artist himself.
