Booksellers and Publishers for Shakespeare & Dickens

The receipts turned up in Helen's collection of Dad's papers the other day...
From 1952!

Before the books were collected, I grabbed the iPad and took some shots of the marvellous illustrations, and then realised maybe I had missed something by not reading a few of them.
But if you look at some of the long descriptions in long sentences you can see why not many modern readers have the time...

Just looking up Martin Chuzzlewit in our 30 volume set of Dickens after seeing Miriam Margolyes on tonight's ABC #qanda.

The Shakespeare volumes belonged to LAWRENCE CAMPBELL EQUITABLE BUILDING
SYDNEY
his stamp is in the Hamlet Vol. cover.

Opened the book cover and found the receipt for the purchase of the books.

I had thought they had come from my Grandfather, but it seems Dad bought them from Angus and Robertson for 6 guineas, £6-6-0, and the set of 8 volumes of Shakespeare for £5-5-0, and that was 60 years ago last month!
So I'll fold the receipt back into Vol. 1 of "Chuzzlewit", for another 60yrs.

The phone number for Angus & Robertson, Booksellers, Publishers & Librarians
89 Castlereagh Street, Sydney was MA 6511...

These were purchased when we lived at 49 Wyalong St. Willoughby..
