Über M&G BOOKS

M&G BOOKS: A Lifetime of Collecting Exceptional Books Dating from 1881 to 2024, the 492 books in the M&G BOOKS collection reflect the lifelong passion and dedication of Martin Magovsky (Boston, USA, 1940; Varese, Italy, 2024). Assembled over several decades through meticulous research and close relationships with authors, illustrators, booksellers and specialist bookshops around the world, this remarkable collection represents the culmination of a life devoted to collecting exceptional literary works. It brings together carefully preserved signed first editions, rare books, award-winning fiction and illustrated works by celebrated authors and illustrators. Among them are Ann Grifalconi, Anne Anderson, Arnaldo Pomodoro, Cicely Mary Barker, Charles Dickens, Charlie Mackesy, Eric Carle, H. A. Rey, Hans Christian Andersen, Joe Biden, J. K. Rowling, Katherine Applegate, Kathryn Stockett, Kazuo Ishiguro, Maurice Sendak, Michelle Obama, Paul Zelinsky, Philip Pullman, Robert McCloskey, Ruth Sawyer, Sally Rooney, Sarah Bernstein, Tasha Tudor and many others. Some volumes hold special features that make them truly one of a kind: original illustrations, unique doodles and personal inscriptions by prominent authors. The collection also includes titles associated with the Caldecott Medal, the Newbery Medal and the National Book Award. Multiple editions of important works offer a range of bindings and include both signed and unsigned copies. Each book has been carefully preserved and protected, and the collection is in impeccable condition. Archival-quality protective covers and professional preservation reflect the care with which these books have been handled. The books are offered individually through the M&G BOOKS listings. Collectors may also acquire the complete collection as a single lot. Its estimated market value is approximately USD 170,000; the special price for the complete collection is USD 50,000. Reasonable offers will be considered. For the complete catalogue in Excel or PDF format, additional images or other inquiries, please use the Contact Seller button.
