The library at Anglesey Abbey was assembled in the mid-twentieth century by the Anglo-American Huttleston Broughton, 1st Lord Fairhaven. It includes within it an astounding cabinet des livres, consisting of approximately 200 fine colour plate books, fine bindings, extra illustrated books and private press books. The majority of these books have never been seen in public. They have been described as among the finest copies in existence of some of the grandest books ever produced. Written by National Trust Libraries Curator, Mark Purcell, Director of the Guildhall Library, David Pearson and Cambridge University Library's William Hale, this book includes details of superb botanical, topographical, architectural and costume books, atlases, as well as a selection of some of the finest bookbindings made in England between the eighteenth and twentieth centuries. 'Treasures from Lord Fairhaven's Library at Anglesy Abbey' introduces one of the most remarkable book collections of the twentieth century, setting into a broad context one of National Trust's most splendid and most inaccessible collections.
