Items from the late Chris Harper’s Collection

Click here to go back to the FOR SALE! main page.

Our great friend and fellow hobbyist Chris Harper had an extensive collection of books and story-papers, which his wife Suzanne is now selling.

He remarked to me once that his tastes were very ‘Catholic’. In my ignorance, I didn’t really know what he meant… but Google told me: “comprehensive or broad-minded in tastes or interests”. I can confirm that the description was apposite. His top-floor ‘library’ was an Aladdin’s Cave for LOBBC members! He was also a thoroughly decent chap!

Please contact Suzanne to discuss further, using this email address: mail@candsharper.plus.com
