FIRSTS: LONDON'S RARE BOOK FAIR
Saatchi Gallery 15 - 18 May 2025
"I adore gardens and I love books — especially those about plants and gardens. I have collected such books for more than fifty years and ‘Firsts’ brings together some of my favourites and many of the finest. The combination of fine binding, fine printing and botanical wisdom makes such books simply irresistible to me."
- Alan Titchmarsh CBE DL V
