Great rare book selection in an open, airy shop. They are happy to let you browse.

A delightful place. The staff are a charm: if you have enough time to browse at leisure, and you're able to quietly blend into the background, I suggest ear-wigging their chatter - they're funny guys.

Also: ask to see downstairs, especially if you like letters and vellum.

Superb collection of rare books spanning all subjects. Large inviting space and helpful staff.

Awsome products. Staff sat at desks on laptops with zero offer of help. Was interested in 1st edition just so story they had on the window but not spending 1500 if they can't be bothered to speak to me

Fantastic little bookstore. Interesting place to wander around and do some light reading. Very helpful staff.

Fascinating place to have a look around although some of the prices were well beyond my wallet, but I'm sure it's a bit of a Mecca for serious book collectors.
When we walked in there was a chap behind an old fashioned desk towards the back of the store which was totally in keeping. He was knowledgeable and obviously in love with his subject.
Oh, and there was a first edition hardback of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone if you're interested. I think it was £15k.

Very nice shop and service. Thank you for your help in securing two beautiful books for me.

Like walking into another world. If there's a rare book you're looking for, truly rare, this shop might have an original copy. This is an upscale establishment and their craft shines through on that. Polite and the utmost professional crew running the place. I might not have had quite the budget for the things I saw, but I can guarantee you it's worth a look anyways. Books from centuries ago displayed the way I always wanted a museum to display them.
