Sotherans of Sackville, W1S has existed as a booksellers in roughly the same area of London since 1851 when the late great expansionist of the family enterprise Henry Sotheran first staked his claim to central. In the 165 years since it has grown to become a premier destination bookshop for antiquarian titles based in no small part to its established practice of buying whole libraries (most notably those of Charles Dickens and Sir Isaac Newton!) The staff team take tremendous pride in their shop and offer excellent customer service and an overwhelmingly joyous verbal history of this stunning current shop and all its previous incarnations at neighbouring addresses. They were keen for me to stress that antiquarian books do not necessarily mean expensive and they offer collections ranging from bargain to one of a kind. Certainly the vast two floor experience of Sotheran’s is itself one of a kind and I would whole heartedly and rapidly recommend it. http://www.sotherans.co.uk/
