If you live near London, England and love stories from the Golden Age of Antarctic Exploration, now is your chance to pick up an entire library about that era.
As part of an estate sale, a seller on eBay has put up a relative’s entire collection of 154 books about Antarctic exploration. Some are contemporary, such as Sara Wheeler’s Cherry: A Life of Apsley Cherry-Garrard. Others are classic first editions, such as Scott’s Last Expedition, Volumes 1 and 2 from 1913.
The mix includes everything from ex-library books in poor repair to a copy of South with Scott, signed by Edgar Evans before his demise with Scott on the return trek from the South Pole.
The seller insists on pickup only, so if you can’t make it to North London to pick up the six fruit crates of books yourself, you’re out of luck.
The bidding ends on January 27.
