Welcome

vicar lane

Established in 1979 I carry a small stock of interesting and unusual books, manuscripts, maps and ephemera.

After 22 years of running a shop I now trade exclusively from my home premises, selling through the internet, catalogues, book fairs and private sales.

I am now able to concentrate on the more interesting and collectible books and I am happy to look out for specific items for customers.

I also carry a wide stock of books, periodicals, ephemera, original illustrations, etc. by Mervyn Peake. For more details go to my Mervyn Peake Page
