A dealer's room, not a gallery

Broadsheet is a room above a bookshop in Kalk Bay with about four thousand sheets in it. Everything is original — no reprints, no giclée copies of things that were never printed that way. Condition is described honestly. Foxing is called foxing, a tear is called a tear, and the price reflects it.
