This two-part pictorial record presents a visual and historical survey of London’s antiquarian book trade during the mid-twentieth century. Compiled by Richard Brown and Stanley Brett, it documents the premises, personalities, and traditions of booksellers who shaped the city’s literary commerce. Through photographs and brief biographies, the volumes illustrate the architectural charm of bookshops and the character of their proprietors, preserving a vanishing world of bibliophilic culture. Percy Muir’s prefatory reminiscence adds depth, reflecting on the ethos and evolution of the trade.
