Despite the child theme, everything was on the-взрослому: serious fight auction, the hammer price is several times higher than the estimate, gambling and bargaining in the hall and via the Internet. Online-участники this time was even more active than full-time. Sometimes a few players online right-таки not allowed to intervene all the rest, and we watched "online-аукцион with spectators", as correctly noted by the Helen mountain.

It sold 60 % of the lots (206 of 341) for a total amount of almost 7 million rubles (135% of the average total estimate). Gym and competed in a number of purchased lots, and online-игроки, which numbered about 25 people, won they got 87 lots, and full-time @75 mdas. Phone bets have won 24 times, and absentee — 20 times.

the First serious dispute, the auction was for the locker with books-малютками "Library-крошка" (lot 4). Ten small booklets (height about 10 cm) with Andersen's fairy tales etc. in a special locker room and online traded from 45 to 200 thousand rubles was won by the player in the hall.

One of the top-лотов became the Paris edition of 1921 in the French language "the tale of Tsar Saltan" by Pushkin with illustrations by Natalia Goncharova (lot 109). One of 599 numbered copies argued two players in the room and one telephone bidder. In the end, the lot was increased in value from 135 to 440 thousand RUB won phone the player.

With a large excess of estimates was sold to books with illustrations by Vladimir Konashevich. The first edition of the book Marshak "the House that Jack built" (Пг.; Moscow: GIZ, world literature, 1923 — lot 121) with his drawings phone, room and Internet traded with 30 to 100 thousand rubles. the Book went online-участнику. Then the first edition books J. Maxine and S. Shervinsky of the Master and the children" (Moscow: GIZ, 1928 – lot 177), also designed by Konashevich, the dispute. and a few online-участников rose to 95 thousand RUB. (est 35-36 thousand rubles). Finally, the first edition of "Confusion is" K. Chukovskiy (L: Ed-во Raduga, 1926 — lot 143) with illustrations by Konashevich exceeded the estimate by four times the rating of 28-30 thousand руб.; price of the lot is 120 thousand rubles.). There was initially a high absentee rate, however, the Internet and couple of phone bidder still argue extramural studies. The most persistent was the Internet-игрок.

Another book Korney Ivanovich Chukovsky — poem "the Telephone" (Leningrad: Detgiz, 1935 — lot 275) — repeatedly exceeded the estimate. Here, however, there were no drawings by Konashevich, however, hall said that it almost first edition "Phone" Chukovsky. This assumption can explain the fact that 11 thousand RUB telephone and Internet-игроки brought the hammer price to 140 thousand Won again online-участник.

a rarity are considered children's books by Boris Pasternak. Small, only 12 pages booklet with the poem of Pasternak's "Carousel" (Leningrad: GIZ, 1926 — lot 144) decorated by the artist Dmitry Mitrokhin, in a dispute between two telephone players from 120 thousand has risen to 300 thousand rubles. one more adult than a children's poet — Vladimir Mayakovsky — the auction featured rare book "Read and ride to Paris and China," with illustrations by P. Alyakrinsky (Moscow: GIZ, 1929 — lot 200). So there is nothing surprising in the fact that the book sold almost three times more expensive than the evaluation of — for 600 thousand rubles by correspondence rate, while the estimate of 120-130 thousand rubles. by the Way, Mayakovsky's book became the top-лотом of the auction.

Another rarity among children's books — owner "meow" poet-обэриута Alexander Vvedensky (lot 179). It's a little story about a stray cat Furry leg, which finds a home. Put up for auction the first edition of "meow" with illustrations by Peter Miturich (М.; Leningrad: GIZ, 1928) was purchased by the player in the hall for 150 thousand, exactly twice as much start. Another book Vvedensky, "Wind" drawings A. Fonvizin (Leningrad: GIZ, 1930 — lot 215) doubled the estimate and got the player in the room for 90 thousand rubles.

the Only publication of the poem Anatoly Mariengof "Bobka athlete" (Moscow: GIZ, 1930 — lot 222) with illustrations by D. Shterenberg room and the phone was sold from 75 to 155 thousand. Finally, heated argument with a Caucasian accent was played for Alphabet in Georgian (Tiflis, 1928 — lot 171).
