Icon books from the Bredius Foundation

The institute has some fantastic icon books donated to us by the Bredius Foundation. You can download the list of icon books using this link: ICON BOOK LIST

We are very grateful to the Bredius Foundation for the fine addition to our collection of icon books and hope to find a good home for the books which are duplicates of titles already found in our own collection.

Would you like to buy an icon book? The price does not include shipping costs, so it pays to choose a number of books from this list and, if possible, collect the books yourself from the secretariat. But shipping doesn't always have to cost a lot either: a parcel up to 3 kg delivered to your home address via PostNL costs only €7.00!

Your order, indicating the titles, authors and price listed, can be sent to secretariaat [at] ivoc.ru.nl (secretariaat[at]ivoc[dot]ru[dot]nl). If you want the books delivered, please also mention your address. We will confirm your order and provide you with payment details: upon receipt of your payment, we will ship your order.
