More Information
Eric Linklater, born in Wales 1899, moved to Scotland whilst a
child. He had interesting parents, his father was a mater mariner and his mother
was reputed locally to be a witch! His connections with Orkney had a huge
influence on both himself and his writing. The books are still appreciated
today, both by readers and collectors. Our own personal experience in selling
his first editions was always positive, whilst not fetching huge sums they
always sold well. The proliferation of the internet has reduced prices, at the
time of writing, as it has with so many authors. That said all the books listed
in this bibliography-checklist are of interest and early titles in dust jackets
certainly qualify as rare and do attract a decent premium, as well they ought!.
If you are looking to buy or sell rare books then our
antiquarian booksellers section may be of some assistance. |
