From the Greg Harrowing collection of modern first editions. Collected over four decades and seen to the auction market for the first time, Greg's collection demonstrates a broad & insatiable love and thirst for all manner of the contemporary printed word, covering every corner of literature and non-fiction. From the traditional modern collector's works - John le Carre, Quentin Blake, Hilary Mantel and numerous other Booker Prize winners - to the less commonly seen collections of contemporary Japanese and Korean fiction, Harrowing's collection was collected over four decades, and his care of the collection extended so far as to have beautiful leather slipcases custom made to house his favourite pieces.
