Dear Mr Blair
I writing on behalf of Yvonne Crowe, the widow of the late David Crowe.
As a friend of many years, may I thank you for the thoughtful obituary you wrote about David, it was a a kind and generous gesture.
Yvonne has asked me to seek your advice about selling David’s book mark collection and two vintage books about the ascent of Mt Everest.
It seems there are about 900 – 1000 bookmarks Some of the book marks have been sorted into categories. Some are in folders. I believe there are some unusual even rare bookmarks amongst them.
Would they be saleable, what would need to be done to prepare them for sale? I doubt that Yvonne would be able to take photos.
She’s not up to putting them online for the general public.
David had a paperback signed copy of Nothing Ventured, Nothing Win, Edmund Hilary and Everest The Hard Way, Chris Bonington
Yvonne thought there maybe people amongst your members who might be interested in buying them.
Many thanks
