[Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930)]
List of the contents of Arthur Conan Doyle’s psychic library kept by his secretary, Major A. H. Wood
36 pages, 163 x 200mm, plus blanks, indented alphabetical tags, black cloth wrappers. Provenance: Sotheby's, 29 June 1982, lot 461.

Containing a number of important spiritualist books as part of Doyle’s The Psychic Bookshop. Listings include a number of Doyle’s own works including The Spiritualist’s Reader and The Case for Spirit Photography. Established in early February 1925, The Psychic Bookshop acted as a commercial bookshop as well as a library, museum, and book publishing company, dedicated to the study of spiritualism. An advert for the shop published in 1927 described it as a ‘central depot for knowledge established to meet the fact that psychic literature, the most important literature in the world, is found hardly any place upon the shelves of the ordinary book seller…it contains a splendid stock of psychic books’ and it ‘has a circulating library from which these books, which are often expensive, can be taken out at 2/6 a month or a guinea a year’.
