After the hugely successful sale late 2013 of The Peter B. Maling library and other vendors which grossed over $100,000, Dunbar Sloane Ltd are delighted to offer our first rare book sale of 2014. The sale is chiefly comprised of three local collections and we are indebted to Bill and the families of David and Don for entrusting Dunbar Sloane Ltd with the sale of these wonderful books. Bill Patterson of Miramar has been a collector of books for longer than he cares to remember. A local journalist for many years Bill has a passion for the written word. His collection comprises C19th reference books, journals, Victorian annuals and illustrated volumes. The late Don Spiller was a respected research scientist and latterly a well known local book dealer and collector and a regular buyer and seller at Dunbar Sloane Ltd.Don’s books are a diverse and eclectic mix which includes antiquarian, art reference, New Zealand and other historical, travel and literary volumes. The late David Medway, Notary Public, Barrister and Solicitor who worked in New Plymouth had a special interest in natural history and in particular ornithology and conservation with a particular interest in the ornithology of Cooks Voyages. David travelled widely following these passions attending numerous congress and conferences across the globe and was an honorary consultant in historical ornithology to the Alexander Turnbull Library, Wellington as well as a member of numerous other societies. He published several papers dealing with aspects of the ornithology of Cook’s Voyages, New Zealand ornithology and his assistance was acknowledged in 22 published works.

BEFORE THE AUCTION CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS The terms and conditions under which the buyer acts at a sale are detailed at the back of this catalogue. We recommend that you read and understand these conditions of business before registering to bid at an auction. This sale is subject to the conditions of business printed in this catalogue and to the reserves.
AFTER THE AUCTION
Viewing All lots are available for inspection prior to the sale. Although staff will endeavour to answer your enquiries, and give advice, the final decision to bid, is at your discretion and liability. Pre-Sale Estimates The estimated prices printed below the catalogue descriptions are in New Zealand dollars and are the approximate prices expected to be realised, excluding buyers premium. They are not definitive, they are prepared well in advance of the sale and they are subject to revision. Condition reports Dunbar Sloane Ltd will provide a verbal condition report if you would like an opinion on any particular lot prior to purchasing. All goods are sold “as is” and it is up to the buyer to satisfy themselves as to the condition of an item before the auction. THE AUCTION Registration To bid at the auction you will need to register for a bidding number at the front desk either during the viewing or prior to the auction. Buying at the Auction Please bid clearly and promptly using your bidding number. When you successfully purchase a lot the auctioneer will ask you for your number, and this will show on your invoice. Approximate Selling Rate Auctions are generally conducted at the rate of about 100 lots per hour. However, this can vary. Absentee Bidding If you are unable to attend the auction, Dunbar Sloane Ltd can bid on your behalf according to your written instructions. This is a free service for intended buyers.
