Made an acquaintance in 1977 with antiquarian natural history books by buying Albertus Seba's cabinet of natural curiosities in book form: Locupletissimi rerum naturalium thesauri … and since then sticked to flower books as a collector and subsequently as an antiquarian bookseller.

Issued a first catalogue in 1986 with antiquarian flower, garden and botanical books in the widest sense. Now I have also an ample collection of flower and fruit prints and probably the largest commercially available collection of seed and nursery catalogues.

Printed catalogues are still issued regularly and will be sent upon request. But nowadays the internet takes much attention by a most elaborate website, describing and illustrating my stock.
