In 1969 Peter Harrington began selling books from the Chelsea Antiques Market on London’s King’s Road. His business has now grown into one of London’s largest and best-known rare book firms. In 1997 we moved to much larger premises on Fulham Road, where we have more than 20,000 volumes spread over four floors. Peter passed away in 2003 and the business is now run by his son, Pom Harrington. Our sister shop, Old Church Galleries, offers a wide selection of rare maps and prints at 98 Fulham Road, next door to the bookshop. Our major specialities are: Literature, Landmark books in science, philosophy and the history of ideas Travel, voyages and atlases 20th-century literature and photography Natural history and colour-plate books Children’s and children’s illustrated books Fine bindings and sets Original artwork Full bookbinding and restoration service Library projects Wedding lists and gift ideas for special occasions Our customer service includes not only sales advice but book valuation, commission bidding at auctions, library projects and others. We regularly produce fully-illustrated catalogues featuring our newest acquisitions. Each entry is fully described and carries our unconditional guarantee. We provide both domestic and international shipping and accept all major credit cards. We are members of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association (ABA), the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers (ILAB) and of the Provincial Booksellers Fairs Association (PBFA).
