STARTING AT 5.00pm (in Upstairs Bar Area)
The Malcolm Cant Collection
of Edinburgh.
Malcolm Cant published many books
on Edinburgh in the 1980s to 2000s, popular and
well-regarded by historians and locals. During the period he
was actively writing and publishing, he amassed an extensive
collection of material; some for reference, some for
illustration, and others for use while giving illustrated
talks. Having retired from publishing, he has decided to
dispose of this collection, and it appears here suitably
lotted by type and area.
While cataloguing this collection it was apparent that there
was a different feel to it, compared to other collections we
have seen. What I eventually realised was that this is not
material put together by a typical collector (who will often
for example add a postcard to their album simply because
they don�t already have just that card). The difference is
very obvious; it is the collection of a historian and
publisher, generally adding cards because they show
something different, something new.
Note that there are a few items from outside Edinburgh, but
they are included here out of convenience. Prices of many of
these lots are unpredictable. It is quite possible that some
lots here and there will sell well above their estimates;
some might also be picked up below estimate (note that we do
not normally entertain bids at less than two-thirds of the
estimate).
We make no assertions regarding copyright of any of the
items sold. Any buyers wishing to reproduce any
illustrations must satisfy themselves as to the copyright
status.
Note that any lots with the symbol will not be taken to the
auction venue. These are generally the heavier or more
fragile lots. These need to be viewed at our shop during the
preceding week, and buyers will have to collect any lots so
marked from our shop.

SLIDES
Malcolm Cant built up an enormous
collection of over five thousand slides, which were mainly
used when he was giving talks and presentations at local
groups. The slides cover quite a mix of types � some are
quite modern photographs, some are of postcards or
photographs which appear elsewhere in this collection,
others are photographs of prints etc.
We do not reckon on there being great value in this section,
but are keen that people with specific interests are able to
buy suitable sections. We will therefore allow customers to
bid on any sections of interest, with a starting price of
the bid step nearest to 10p per slide (subject to a further
minimum of �5 per lot). (So for example Cramond would start
at �16, Festival at �5, Morningside at �20.) After any such
individual sections have been removed, the whole remaining
collection of slides will be sold as one lot.
Anybody wishing to bid for any of the sections listed on the
next page must notify us before the auction
starts. Note also that this group will not be taken to the
auction venue.

POSTCARDS
The following lots are all
of postcards arranged in plastic four-pocket pages, and
presented by area. The majority of cards are of the
�classic� era (c.1900 to 1930s) but with some more modern
in places. Also the condition tends to be fine throughout
(mixed unused and used), but with odd damage here and
there. If any lot has a higher percentage of modern cards,
or of damaged cards, this will be noted. There is just
occasional light duplication. There are many cards
included here that we have not seen in some decades of
handling postcards.
NB we use �RP� (real photographic) in its proper
definition of postcards printed directly from a negative
onto postcard-backed photographic paper (rather than it
increasingly used � or abused � meaning of �from a
photograph�).

approximate. Some lots contain light duplication. Prices
in this section are difficult to predict,

0500
886 Use this number to make
bids or to check on prices after the auction � or any time you
want to speak to us � from anywhere in the UK for the cost of a
local rate phone call.
�uro Currency; We are happy to accept
Euro cash payments in our shop. We normally allow the market
rate rounded down to the next whole penny. For example, at the
time of writing, the market rate is 0.8111, so we are allowing
81p per Euro (which is probably better than your bank will give
you). You can also pay for lots in this auction by Euro
banknotes (postal customers please confirm before sending). We
also accept payments in our shop in Euros, and we buy the old �legacy�
currencies, as well as other coins and notes.
MATERIAL IS ACCEPTED FOR FUTURE SALES AT ANY TIME
Most auctions include a
few lots which, due to their large size or weight compared to
value, will not be taken to the auction venue. They must
therefore be viewed at our shop during the previous week, and
successful purchasers will be responsible for their collection
from us. The symbol for these is ��, and very generally
speaking, there's a cut-off point of about �2 or �3 estimate
per kilo weight.
If you attend the auction and buy any of these lots, you can
either call at the shop during normal opening hours, or it is
sometimes possible to arrange to pick up after the auction has
finished (though please first speak to Mr. Murray to arrange
this).
NORMAL BIDDING STEPS
We list here
our normal bid steps for your information. This may be of help
to bidders who are unable to
attend the sale, as any written bids received which do not fit
our normal pattern would usually be taken
down to the next normal step. (We keep to these increments as
much as possible, but do sometimes
change if circumstances make it desirable.)
Up to �20, bids are in �1 steps.
From �20 to �30, bids are in �2 steps.
>From �30 to �50, bids are in �2 or �3 steps (i.e. �30,
�32, �35, �38, �40, �42, �45, �48, �50).
>From �50 to �100 in �5 steps.
From �100 to �200,

CREDIT
CARDS
We are happy to accept
MasterCard and Visa credit card payments, as well as payments
by Maestro and Delta. This facility can be used by room
purchasers (who pay their accounts at the auction), by other
local customers (who pay their bill in our shop), and by
postal buyers.
In order to deal with postal clients, our bid forms have been
designed to make space for credit card instructions.
If you want your purchases charged in this way, please
complete the appropriate section.
Do not complete
these details unless you want to pay by debit/credit card, and to have the lots posted.
We have negotiated good rates with our bank, and are able to
absorb the bank charges for this service ourselves, and
therefore there is no additional charge for the use of this
facility, as long as postal bidders give us their details in
advance of posting. Only for postal buyers where card
details are given after posting, we will charge 1.9% extra (Visa/MasterCard), plus cost of
posting receipt slip.
VIEWING; please note that lots can normally be viewed in our
shop during the one week prior to the auction. It is
sometimes possible to view auction lots outside the normal times,
but this must be by special arrangement.
