Chelsea 2025: The Radical, The Mystical and The Unexplored
50 highlights for the Chelsea Book Fair, with a focus towards the 19th and 20th centuries. Included are a range of pioneering men and women, revolutionaries, and those who spearheaded the countercultural and psychedelic movements in 1960 and 70s America. Highlights include a letter, handwritten by a British spy during the French revolution, works signed by Fidel Castro, Richard Dawkins and Paulo Coelho, Florence Nightingale’s testimony on the building of the controversial Netley hospital, an inscribed first edition of Terrence Mckenna’s first book, and a copy of the Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, signed by almost all of the Merry Pranksters. There is also the editor’s typescript of James Herriot’s ‘Vets Might Fly’, another, unpublished typescript by a Land Girl, and early photographs of Mars taken from Viking I, the first successful Mars lander in history.

Highlights at Cambridge
A selection of beautiful, esoteric, weird and wonderful books and objects from over 200 years of human history.

Highlights at Firsts 2026
Revolution: the political, the philosophical, and the revolutionary. Important figures feature from all across the globe, from Cuba to France to the USA and everything in between. Highlights include a rare lunar atlas representing some of the last photographs of the moon taken from the earth’s surface, inscribed modern first editions, classics of children’s literature (such as a true first edition of ‘The Gruffalo’), an original manuscript note from Rousseau, Anthony Kenny’s own annotated copies of Wittgenstein’s most important Philosophical works, and an early discussion of extra-terrestrial life. Other works showcase authors who were ‘revolutionary’ in their own fields, such as Sowerby’s English botany, with over 2500 individual handcoloured plates, an extremely limited facsimile of the Kelmscott Chaucer, widely considered to be one of the most beautiful books ever printed, and a carved wooden mulberry box, purportedly made from the wood of a tree William Shakespeare planted with his own hands.
