Volume IV (the one with all the plates: est. £80), a nice clean set of all nine parts of Fretter and Graham's 1976-86 The prosobranch molluscs of Britain and Denmark (est. £75), a set of Parenzan's 1970-1976 Carta d'identità delle conchiglie del Mediterraneo (est. £50), a good copy of Sowerby's 1859 Illustrated index of British shells with coloured plates (est. £85), and offprints and journals including Journal of the Malacological Society of Australia, continuing as Molluscan Research, complete from its start in 1957 up to 2016 (est, £500).
The catalogue, rules and a bid form are all available to download below.
Preference is given to bids from members of the Conchological Society, the Malacological Society, and the British Shell Collectors Society; non-members are very welcome to bid, but their bids will only be considered in the absence of members' bids.

We will shortly also be selling unsold books from earlier auctions at discounted prices on a "buy-it-now" basis. The list will be put on the website soon.
