To help us understanding your cataloguing needs, it would be very helpful if you could supply us with a sample of your catalogue. Would you be willing to do this?
YESNO
29
Supplying a sample of your catalogue

You said you were willing to supply us with a sample of your catalogue. Thank you! This will be very helpful.

Ideally this would in the form of a spreadsheet or a CSV file. But if you only list your collection in, say, a Word document, that is also fine.

If it is easier, you can send us the complete catalogue. But a representative selection of records from the catalogue is fine.

Please e-mail the sample to david@pekingparismorgan.com

Are you willing to be contacted if we have any other follow-up questions?
