At a time when the Internet might seem overloaded with information, one might wonder what value can old, rare books and its weathered pages offer. The answer, as leading, city-based auction house Pundole's seems to suggest through its upcoming online book sale Bound to Please, is "a lot". The timed auction has 110 lots on offer from the libraries of two book collectors and one family collection.

Books on offer include a Presentation Album of Photographs by Homai Vyarawalla, India’s first female photojournalist; James Forbes’s Oriental Memoirs illustrated with engravings from original drawings, and Subjects of Life, Indian and Anglo Indian by William Tayler, an amateur artist and civil servant of the East India Company.
