Unfortunately this is not my back office ! I've been firmly established in my offices in Macclesfield since 1996, starting in a very small office with a small stock I now have a suite of two conjoined offices to house a larger number of books plus the ABA Reference Library. I buy in many areas -   antiquarian books, pamphlets and ephemera etc. As a member of the ABA  ( Antiquarian Booksellers Association )  founded in 1906  and  the oldest organization of its kind in the world, I am bound by the ABA's Code of Good Practice, arguably the most stringent of any in the field of art and antiques worldwide.  Furthermore as a member I am expected to observe the highest professional standards. I am currently the Immediate Past President of the ABA ( 2021 ),  have served on the ABA Council since 2000, managed the ABA Chelsea Book Fair for fourteen years, been a member of the ABA Olympia Book Fair Committee, and have been the Honorary Librarian of the Association since 2004. I am also an International Mentor for the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers ( ILAB ) see www.ilab.org

The offices are , generally, open between 0930 and 1800, Mon - Fri, but a prior phone call is advised.

I exhibit at major book fairs throughout the year in the UK including - Edinburgh ( ABA ), London Battersea ( ABA ), York ( PBFA ), Chelsea ( ABA ), and at the monthly Buxton ( Independent ) Book Fair. 

I am always interested in purchasing books, ephemera, and manuscripts etc; either single items or complete libraries.

Valuations for Insurance or Probate can be undertaken, please contact me for details. 

My stock may be searched, and purchased,  at abebooks.  Alternatively you can purchase directly from me -  note the author, title and the stock reference number of the item and contact  me ( see contact page ). I accept payment by  - PayPal, Credit / Debit Card, Cash, Bank Transfer, or Cheque.
