Rare & Antiquarian Books.

The Rare & The Beautiful.

We trade rare and antiquarian books through our website, auction houses and our network of collectors and antiquarian dealers.

Rare and antiquarian books are quite a different world to the trade secondhand books, and require a different approach to valuation and condition assessment.

Whether you have a rare book that has been handed down over the years, or you have a library of ancient and modern wonders, we would be happy to discuss a possible acquisition. We also offer a book valuation service for insurance or probate purposes.

Acquisitions.

If you have a book you think might be of special value and you would like to explore a sale, please get in touch. We would be happy to take a look and discuss next steps.

Please feel free to contact the shop and bring in your books by appointment. For larger collections, or if you cannot travel easily, we may also be able to offer a home visit. Please get in touch and we can discuss your needs.
