About Us
We are antiquarian and rare booksellers based in central London. We have been established for forty years and are specialists in English STC books (printed before 1640), Continental printed books before and up to the mid 1600s and medieval and renaissance manuscripts, both decorative and textual. In all these fields we carry an extensive stock and aim to cover the widest possible range of subjects, languages and prices. We are known for the accuracy and depth of our descriptions and for the quality of our copies, usually in contemporary or fine bindings.
We are always happy to add new names to our extensive mailing list and produce one or two catalogues a year as well as frequently offering any items which might be of interest. We also regularly search for items to satisfy customers’ particular wants or assist more generally in building their collections. Many of our customers are leading institutions and collectors throughout the world, but many are more modest bibliophiles who share our particular passion. All are equally valued and most are long-standing. You, like them, can purchase from us in complete confidence that you can rely on our experience and expertise.
