Thank you for visiting the website of Roger J. Treglown, Antiquarian and Rare Books.
The business was founded in 1980 and developed with retail premises in Hale, Cheshire. The move to Macclesfield took place in 1990, after initially operating from home the business grew rapidly and the move into my present office suite in the centre of the town took place in 1993. I have been a member of the prestigious Antiquarian Booksellers Association International ( ABA ) since 1991, and have been elected twice to serve, and still currently serving, on the ABA Council, I also fill the role of Hon. Librarian for the ABA, the Association’s Reference Library being housed in my offices, and have chaired the ABA Chelsea Bookfair Committee for the last five years. As a member of the ABA I am pledged to uphold the ABA Code of Good Practice, and sell the best of what my customers want in their own fields, and trade to standards designed to inspire confidence amongst buyers and sellers alike.
Dealing in antiquarian, rare, odd, interesting, curious, books and pamphlets on a wide variety of subjects, and books on Chess and Draughts, I can also offer advice on book rebinding, repair and restoration.
A selection of my stock can be searched on this website, viewed here in Macclesfield (see the Contacts page ) or at the various Bookfairs I exhibit at in the UK and Europe (see the Bookfairs page ). If any of the descriptive terms are unfamiliar to you please refer to The Terms of the Trade which will be found on the ABA Website, or in the ABA Handbook available from me or the ABA Office.
I am always eager to purchase fresh stock, from single items to large collections. Contact may be made by e- mail or telephone phone: +44 ( 0 ) 1625 – 618978.
