The books on sale from the private collection of Wallace and Bruce Clarke
The Wee Hall in Culdaff was the venue for a huge book sale on Saturday afternoon. More than 2,000 books from the personal collection of Wallace and Bruce Clark were on offer. The books are both modern and ancient - and cover a broad range of genres including: history, fiction, travel, biography, religion, and folklore.
It was a great opportunity for collectors to expand their collection while the money raised was going towards the maintenance of St Buadan's Church in Culdaff.
Bruce Clark is an award-winning author, who has also worked as a journalist with The Economist specialising in religion and defence. His father Wallace was an author, businessman and adventurer.
It cost €10 to enter however, this entitled collectors to five books.
According to local historian Sean Beattie: "This collection is likely to contain many treasures on a variety of topics. Both men were passionate about books and their taste was both wide-ranging and erudite."
