It’s difficult to cherry-pick a cherry-farm. While we spent a couple of weeks attempting to pick the best of the best from the library to sell in small groups in the Summer sale or as single items in the Fall auction, the enormity of the collection meant that being thorough was difficult.
To carry on with the “cherry” metaphor, I would say that we effectively picked the “low-hanging fruit.” Many gems remain in the library at Easton’s North Hollywood home.
Around 100,000 books are still there, many (if not most) of the paper-back and inferior material has been discarded, and the library will be sold as the last lot of the Summer auction all as one, single massive lot. This is likely the largest single lot ever sold at auction. Just to say you were there when it happened could be a badge of honor!
The library will be open for preview by appointment during the week prior to the auction. Call us to make arrangements and to get directions (478-787-BOOK.) The library is located in a residential area in North Hollywood, CA, near Lankershim Blvd. Please note that this lot will be pick-up only. The winning buyer will be responsible for the load-out, and the books should be removed within 3 weeks of the sale.
