A large collection of rare works, not previously offered for sale, being the remaining part of the library of Peter Hopkirk, author of The Great Game (1990) and five other books on Central Asia. The 'Great Game' refers to the secret war between Victorian Britain and Tsarist Russia over Central Asia in the nineteenth century. Before becoming an author, Hopkirk (b.1930) was a reporter and worked for nearly 20 years on The Times, five of which as chief reporter and latterly as a Middle East and Far East specialist. This collection provided invaluable intelligence and information for Hopkirk's books and nearly every volume bears his booklabel; his main library was sold in these rooms, 13-14 October 1998. In 1999 the Royal Society for Asian Affairs awarded Peter Hopkirk the Sir Percy Sykes Memorial Medal 'In recognition of his outstanding contribution to increasing man's knowledge of Central Asia through his extensive travels, scholarship and writings.'
