Colin Martin Books are delighted to announce the recent acquisition of a highly important collection of approximately 5000 art books published by Harry Abrams of New York.
This collection consists of mint or very fine first-edition copies of virtually every title ever issued by this prestigious publisher. Most volumes were sealed in cellophane on day of publication, and many are also individually boxed.
These will appear for sale on the site in three batches, spread over the next few months.

If you are interested in art then you should visit this site regularly to make sure you do not miss out on any of these books.
The new books will be accessible directly from the Abrams navigation above.

Seldom does such an opportunity arise to obtain mint copies of books from a period stretching over the last five decades.

If you are interested in pre-ordering any of these volumes, please email the Abrams hotline at abrams@colinmartinbooks.com
