This scarce volume features monochrome images and recollections of three of the finest photographers of the 60s, capturing Bob Dylan between 1963 and 1966. It has an estimate of £80-£120.

For any lovers of the Art Nouveau moment, a bookcase by Talwin Morris is also for sale.

It features a moulded top above three open shelves and four embossed copper plaques - together with the complete complementary set of 21 bindings.

It also incorporates a 'peacock feather' design and Peacocks say the inclusion of the original books is very scarce. This bookcase has an estimate of £800-£1,200.

You can view the lots on Thursday, January 2 from 9am to 6pm and on the morning of the sale from 9am.
