This is just one of a selection of antique and vintage New Zealand written and published book I will be selling over the next few weeks. Also selling some very old and rare books from NZ and overseas. I am no a book dealer , so no I cannot grade them. I will add photos and answer any sensible questions. These books are not new , in some case up to 125 years old. They will not be perfect , but it depends on your reason for collecting. some have dust jackets , others not , some are ex libris , some have previous owners details.
