One day only - Please share!
35 Wentworth Street, Dartmouth
8-4, Jan 1st, 2017 only
I am assisting in the liquidation of the estate of Dr David Jones of Halifax, NS. An avid book collector and scholar, Dr Jones left behind a legacy of 15,000 books. It was my intention to start a bookstore in Darmouth using this as my initial stock, however this was not possible. Now all of the books have to find a home before close of business on January 1st.
ALL BOOKS ARE $1 EACH OR $20 per box.
While there are some common books in the massive collection, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for the avid reader or collector.
The collection consists of the following main themes:
Military (Canadian, worldwide, current and historical);
Russian military (much written in cerillic);
Naval (current and historical) - an amazing nautical collection by iteself;
UK, Scotland and Ireland;
Fine literature (poetry, biographies);
Historical (original documentation, historical books and current);
Folio society books (shown above-approx 300 titles);
China (military);
Japan (military);
Pirates;
Local Nova Scotia;
Large Newfoundland Collection;
Antique books (Bibles);
Many signed and 1st Editions;
WW1 collection;
German (WW1 and WW2 Collection);
France (WW1 and WW2 Collection);
Early Psychology, Sociology;
Roman collection;
US historical;
US military; and
American indigenous.
Also includes the following large collections:
Early Canadiana;
World histories;
Canadian Inuit;
Canadian Native Studies;
Black studies (much local).
This is not a complete list!
Dr Jones' work included microfilming ancient soviet books for the US Government. Both the microfilms AND the soviet books are available. Many dating in back to the 1700's and 1800's.
As we are vacating the premises, we also have "library" type shelving ($200 for all), approx 40 fine bookshelves (antique and modern), library book trolleys ($20 each) and office furniture.
There is a small amount of antiques (hanging candles, Friendly Village dishes, original blueprints of Canada's First Battleship - HMS NIOBE).
It must all be removed by 4 pm on the 1st of Jan (2nd of Jan for larger shelving). Please bring your own boxes/bags and note attendance is at your own risk.
