Blending history, anecdote, and gentle humor, Burton surveys famous libraries, notable collectors, and the cultural forces that shaped book collecting in the 18th and 19th centuries. The result is a lively portrait of the book-lover’s mindset and a charming celebration of the enduring allure of books themselves.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#343538\" face=\"Poppins, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 15px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb style=\"color: rgb(23, 67, 119);\"\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Arial\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eSomething to know about us...\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb style=\"color: rgb(23, 67, 119);\"\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Arial\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(23, 67, 119);\"\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Arial\"\u003eCKB Books are the online store for Broadhursts of Southport Ltd who is one of the oldest second-hand and antiquarian bookshops in the country, having been established in 1920 by Charles Kenyon Broadhurst who many years later became President of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association(ABA). \u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#174377\" face=\"Arial\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#174377\" face=\"Arial\"\u003eWe offer new, second-hand and antiquarian books as well as collectable items.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#174377\" face=\"Arial\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#174377\" face=\"Arial\"\u003eWe are a family run business who have been collecting \u0026amp; selling books for many years and now want them to be accessible worldwide.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#174377\" face=\"Arial\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#174377\" face=\"Arial\"\u003eWe strive to offer the best customer service with speedy delivery.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#174377\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52568157225299,"sku":"3006ant","price":245.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/57_ac1cd93a-44bf-4c46-8917-1b88fed63c41.jpg?v=1765459047","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/the-book-hunter-etc-john-hill-burton-1862-first-edition","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
