Viking Society Book Auction 2010

The list presented here is of books belonging to the late Professor Peter Foote, now offered for sale by auction. Bids are invited. The auction will proceed as follows:

Bids should be sent to by 31st July 2010. Bids received after that date will still be considered (on a first-come, first-served basis) if there is no other bid for the item. Bids can also be sent by post to Alison Finlay, Dept of English, Birkbeck College, Malet Street, London WC1E 7HX. It is not necessary to be a member of the Viking Society in order to bid. Libraries and other institutions are invited to bid, as well as individuals.

The book will normally be sold to the highest bidder. There is no minimum reserve price. If two or more identical bids are received, the bid received earliest will be successful.

Buyers will be required either to pay for postage/carriage, or to make arrangements to collect books from University College London. Normally buyers will be informed of their successful bids and sent an invoice to cover the cost plus carriage; books will be despatched when paid for. Bidders should bear in mind that carriage can add up to a very significant addition to the price of the books! For indications of the cost, consult http://www.royalmail.com/portal/rm/jump2?catId=400023&mediaId=11200122

Large orders will be sent by courier, but the price will be comparable to that charged by Parcelforce.

We will make every effort to despatch books as soon as possible. Because of the large volume of items, however, some items will be sent several months after the deadline for bids.

Books are listed in no particular order. Box numbers refer to the location where books are stored, and are of no relevance to those making bids. It would be helpful, however, if those making bids could include references to the box numbers of the books they are interested in. In some cases sets of two or more books have been accidentally separated in the packing process and volumes will be in more than one box; in some but not all cases these have been cross-referenced.

Some sets of periodicals and encyclopedias are included (e.g. Mediaeval Scandinavia, Kulturhistoriskt Lexikon). Preference will normally be given to bids for complete sets. This does not apply, however, to books published in series (e.g. Early Icelandic Manuscripts in Facsimile, Studia Islandica).

The condition of the books has not been described in detail, unless they are significantly damaged. Otherwise they can be assumed to be in good or very good condition. Where a book has been rebound, or is otherwise a particularly fine copy, this has been indicated. It is also not always noted whether they are in paperback or hard cover.

Unsold books will probably be re-offered in a subsequent auction at a later date. It is a priority, however, to reduce the volume of stored books as much as possible, so even very low bids will be accepted in most cases.

Books (including cost of carriage) can be paid for by cheque to ‘The Viking Society’, or by PayPal (via the Viking Society web site) using a credit or debit card. All proceeds of the auction will go to the Foote Memorial Fund, which will be used to fund a bursary or prize for postgraduate students awarded by the Viking Society.
