We are hoping to provide a complete guide for all those interested in collecting first editions and rare books.

It will be a guide that starts with all the basics so ideal for those just starting out. As we intend to make it very comprehensive there should also be plenty to interest those who are established book collectors.

Getting things right from the start will save you a great deal of time and money. Mistakes can be very expensive when collecting rare books, so here at Goldeneye Rare Books we hope to spare you these trials.

We shall be providing tutorials on the following subjects

How to Identify a First Edition

The Importance of Condition and Dust Jackets

Buying Books for Investment Purposes

How to Buy Safely on the Internet

How to Avoid Getting Ripped Off on ebay

There will be many more subjects covered and we hope to turn this into a valuable resource and something you may want to link to and share with others

Some of the authors we shall be covering include:

Ian Fleming - JK Rowling - PG Wodehouse - Arthur Conan Doyle etc

Genres will include:

Mystery Fiction - Modern First Editions - Antiquarian Books

This is just the beginning of what we hope to do so please check back for more information.

All the best
