The Dunnett Library

This page contains a list of the books bought as the 'Library' lot from the sale of contents from the Dunnett's house. It contains by no means all the books that were owned by Sir Alastair and Lady Dunnett, but it does contain a large number of Lady Dunnett's historical reference books - many of them containing post-it notes.

I am concentrating on listing all the books before documenting the post-it notes. Where post its have been documented in full there is a minus sign in the Post-its column. Also included in this list are the books from some of the Non-Library lots: the notes section for the book will say if this is the case.
