Bayliss Rare Books are delighted to have been featured in the Daily Mail over the weekend, albeit as an 'anonymous seller'!

Withnail's costly wit

Happy news for diehard fans of the cult 1987 film comedy Withnail & I, which shot actor Richard E. Grant to fame, as an original draft of the screenplay is up for grabs. The script is being sold by an anonymous seller on exclusive marketplace SignetCo for a cool £8,500 and even comes with a signed letter from writer Bruce Robinson describing it as ‘my morbid little autobiography’.

Excellent
Fast becoming the go to guy in sourcing and selling the finest originals from Peter Beard. Very professional, highly recommend.
It was a real pleasure to work with Mr Oliver Bayliss, even from abroad, everything went so smoothly. You can consign your valuable books with confidence !
Oliver sold a book for me recently and the process couldn’t have gone more smoothly. Bayliss rare books are great to deal with and thanks to Oliver’s experience and salesmanship I was very happy with the final deal.
Highly professional service, extremely knowledgeable and easy to deal with, he's a collector first and foremost and you can see he cares.
Repeat customer. I've bought 4 books now from Oliver. Extremely knowledgeable in his field, he always has really interesting pieces in stock. He has hand delivered 2 of the books I have bought and sent the other 2 out by post. Would highly recommend.
