Inn good company with Oliver Bayliss
Join Oliver Bayliss of Bayliss Rare Books for an engaging talk on the art of collecting rare
books. With years of experience uncovering literary treasures, Oliver will share insights
into what makes a book rare, the thrill of discovery, and stories from his hunts for the
most elusive of texts. Oliver will also be bringing a number of first editions from his
shelves to share with us.
As a noted dealer Oliver has curated full collections for clients, helped to design libraries,
sourced some of the hardest to find works on the planet and travelled far and wide for
elusive first editions. Including highly sought-after classics such as signed Harry potter
first editions, and the full James Bond collection.
