From the library of Sotheby's book cataloguer John Collins, with his pencilled inscription, "I catalogued & (with Harry Robertson) - organised all the books. Once I left no further book sales took place in Scotland for Sothebys"; with his prices marked in lots 200-81, 30 August 1977 ("The Library of the Late Seton Gordon, C.B.E., F.Z.S. (removed from Upper Duntuilm [sic], Isle of Skye")), lots 1-887, 27-28 September 1979 (the whole sale), lots 170-312, 16 November 1981 ("Books of Scottish and Sporting Interest, the property of the Hon.

John Collins's personal coup for Sotheby's Edinburgh happened when he was working on the 1979 Signet Library sale. "Walking up the Mound one winter day towards the library," he recalled, "I saw clouds of dust over a skip and several sturdy fellows emptying canvas sacks of books into it. I pulled (with permission) several quite nice books out, including a copy of Goldie's book on David Laing and as the skip was destined for the dump, I investigated further." These were the Free Church College's books sold as lots 103-361, 27 September 1979 (sale codeword "SKIP"), famously including 342, "THEOLOGICAL BOOKS, an extensive collection of Theology, including many 17-18th. Cent. continental books sold as a collection, not subject to return[,] a small roomful", no estimate given - which went for £2500. Inscribed by Author(s).
