We are excited to be returning to the Park Avenue Armory for the 2023 edition of the New York International Antiquarian Book Fair, running from 27th to 30th April.

We are delighted to announce the launch of our new Islamic department, headed by specialist Roxana Kashani.

Our book expert Roddy Newlands had an interview with MailOnline about children's books handed down through generations have gained in value over the decades.

With indoor fairs still more or less on ice for now, a new project from Shapero is offering dealers the chance to unite under one roof.

'Bernard Shapero said: “I believe that when this pandemic is over the West End will come back. Pre-Covid, London was booming with hotels being built and I believe in two or three years’ time we will look back at this nightmare but we will have recovered. People still crave experiences and being together" '

We are delighted to have recently been featured in The Times article on independent booksellers and bookshops defying the market odds during the Pandemic.
