Dennis, who was also the co-owner of book printer Butler Tanner & Dennis from 2008-2014, died last year.
The huge estate sale of his assets will take place over three days from 29 September to 1 October, with a viewing weekend prior to that. It encompasses more than 2,300 lots and includes an esoteric range of items that reflect Dennis’s varied interests, including pirates, tribal art and sculptures.
The items have been brought together from his homes in Warwickshire, London, New York, Connecticut and Mustique.
His Eric Gill collection includes 30 engravings and illustrations, and a large selection of related books including a 1929 four-volume edition of The Canterbury Tales printed by Golden Cockerel Press with fine bindings, and with wood engravings by Gill.
The sale is being handled by Bigwood Fine Art Auctioneers of Stratford-upon-Avon and Halls of Shrewsbury.
Full details of all the lots can be found online, and in the accompanying 168pp catalogue, which is for sale for £20. It was printed by Bloomfield in Bidford-on-Avon.
“We are doing all the sale collateral as well, including tags and signage. It’s been a very interesting project,” said Bloomfield managing director Paul Lowe.
Eight Segways, five pinball machines and a Rolls-Royce Silver Spur with registration number 9999 FD are among the items for sale.
“In true Felix Dennis style, the three-day auction promises to offer an opportunity for the world to appreciate the magnitude of his collection, as well as give an insight into the life of one of the great entrepreneurs of our time,” said Fergus Byrne in the introduction to the sale catalogue.
Byrne is the author of a new book about Dennis – More Lives Than One: The Extraordinary Life of Felix Dennis.
Dennis left the majority of his £500m fortune to his Heart of England Forest charity, which has planted more than 1m trees to create a new woodland in Warwickshire.
