Philobiblion Collection

Philobiblion, a dealership in books and manuscripts (mainly literary), was registered in London, July 24, 1969. The owner, Percy W. Jarrett, moved the business to Victoria B.C. in 1970 and was assisted in the business by his wife Elizabeth and his daughter Sylvia Skelton, wife of Robin Skelton. Robin Skelton's many literary contacts proved useful for the business. In 1987, Sylvia Skelton and Elizabeth Jarrett became Philobiblion's registered owners.
