Welcome to Analecta Books, purveyor of  fine literature to Royalty and the discerning Collector. Well, ok, I may have lied a little, about the Royalty thing. But you're a discerning Collector, right? So you've come to the right place. Here, you'll find quality,  collectable contemporary Signed First Editions, most of which will have something a bit "special" about them - something that sets them apart from the bog-standard signed copies. For instance - many will also be dated, maybe carrying a quote from the book, written in the author's hand - maybe doodled or sketched by the author, illustrator, or cover artist - that sort of thing.
So, if you're looking to invest in a First Edition that could well form the cornerstone of your retirement pension, and will make you the envy of your friends, take a look around - there's bound to be something here that you like...........

Something to note; I have many of these titles on offer at Abebooks.com, where you can also find Analecta Books - whilst I strive to keep my prices aligned (Abe prices minus ten percent should hold true on this site) sometimes I don't always manage this - so, if you do see any of the same titles in my Abe store that do not comply with this principle, please let me know, and I'll adjust accordingly.

So, on we go - the  books below are either in stock now, or are due soon.........
