Perhaps a toddy in the library. A well-thumbed 19th-century volume. A chapter or two in the wingback chair. Yes, it’s shaping up to be a literary Christmas once again, courtesy of Crafoord Auktioner Lund.
This time, a little over 200 lots are on offer, and as always, the variety is a delight to explore. The titles form a literary treasure trove, ranging from Herman Boerhaave’s rare Élémens de chymie in six volumes to the first edition of the classic Landet utom sig (A Country Beyond Itself). Alongside nonfiction and fine prose, there’s also a particularly exquisite Alfabild of Pelé, some older maps, and other charming curiosities in the category.
