Margaret's books sold by boxful

I just went to a lecture about the auction of Margaret's jewellery and art. Those went for well above what was estimated.

In some ways the revelation of the contents of Princess Margaret's bookshelves, from her apartment at Kensington Palace, were more achingly personal than the tiaras and monogrammed linen sold at a Christie's auction last summer.
Yesterday her books were brutally described by the specialist auction house Bloomsbury as 'mainly country house rainy day reading', and boxed up in lots of up to 100 books, estimated at less per volume than the price of a magazine.
