Presents

ONE OF THE FINEST COLLECTIONS OF VETERAN SIGNED COMPANION BOOK PLATES EVER ASSEMBLED


   Over many years, Aces High has gathered together an unrivalled selection of rare bookplates in anticipation of the publication of a new volume of Robert Taylor’s Air Combat Paintings.

 Any Aces High collector who buys a copy of Robert Taylor’s new book can choose from a stunning array of these HIGHLY-RESTRICTED RARE BOOKPLATES to be included as part of their book.


Simply purchase any version of the new book from us and you can mix and match any or all of the book plates to create your very own special edition book, which will be presented in an exclusive green and gold embossed Aces High slipcase with certificate of authenticity. They really are outstanding pieces but numbers are very limited so we urge you to act quickly so as not to miss out.
