The Bryan Goodman Collection

16th December 2020 | 12:00PM | Crewkerne Salerooms

Lot 614

Encyclopaedias. A box, to include The Beaulieu Encyclopaedia of the Automobile, edited by Nick Georgano and published in two volumes in 2000 by The Stationery Office, London. These books were claimed to be 'The most comprehensive book ever written about the world of cars and set to become a must-have for anyone with a love of motoring'. Both volumes retain the marginalia and crossings out in the manuscript hand of Bryan Goodman. The complementary volume titled Coachbuilding is also offered. Also included is the 1982 edition and the Motorsport volume edited by Nick Georgano, and other similar titles. All are working copies. (10)

Note: Although not illustrated, this lot contains both volumes of the 2000 published encyclopaedia and its coachbuilding companion, making ten books in total, not nine.

“Congratulations on what looked like a very successful sale ! You never mentioned that you did the auctioneering as well ... talk about doing the whole job ... see it into the building, find out what it is, decide if it’s for the Fine Art sale or the General Sale, lot it and describe it accordingly, and then sell it ... that really does count as seeing the job through from start to finish! Whilst the job isn’t over yet, it really is a case of so far, so good ... some items have sold for sums that exceeded our expectations, with one item in particular fetching a truly remarkable sum, so we’re very happy indeed... we’ve noted how accurate the guide prices are ... and how gratifying it is when the bidding goes sailing past the guide ! I found the whole week to be both gripping entertainment and pleasingly rewarding financially. Please accept my sincerest congratulations for a job well done, and we’ll look forward to the October and November Sales with bated breath ...”
