[1] For full details of each of the available books, please click on the individual titles spread across five pages in the store catalogue linked above. We shall be working on adding more provided that there is sufficient demand.
The previously operational DVD store is provisionally closed owing to the supplies and equipment needed to fulfil orders being out of service following international relocation. We have been advised that many new computers no longer contain DVD drives and compatibility issues have therefore precluded some customers from purchasing the DVDs. The individual files on the DVDs have therefore all now been made available as paid downloads without the need for postage instead.
[2] Subject to time availability. Serious researchers only – this is not a library for casual browsers or tourists. Visits preferred May-September. Supervised library visits take significant advance preparation and are a discretionary service on application. Donations to cover the time cost of downtime from paid work can make it easier.
Hello Philip,

Hi Years ago I bought “An Introduction To The Judgment of The Starres” by C. Dariot
The holder it came in says its a Treatise on Astrology 17th/18th Century Back Cover Missing
Anyway I would be interested in selling it but would like a valuation first so I know what to ask. Is this something I could pay you to do, If so [please let me know.
Thanks,
Chris Peneguy
Hello, Chris!
Just found your message now.
I’d be glad to look at pictures so I can give you a ballpark idea of value. There would be no charge for this. I’d need to establish which edition and what printing it is.
The dating on the holder is curious, since there was no 18th century edition so far as I’m aware, only 16th and 17th century ones.
You can email pictures to me directly at solger75 [at] gmail.com if wished.
Thank you,
Philip

Hi Philip my wife told me about you and a comment exchange from around 5 years ago regarding American Astrology magazine set and I don’t recall but I think at the time I didn’t have the money to purchase the set from that year.
I have money and I’m looking to buy if you have them available still or know of someone who does?
Thanks and talk soon
