Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our old leather books
What kind of books do you supply?
We supply authentic old, antique and vintage leather books. They are chosen for their bindings, spines and character, so they look right on a shelf, in a window or as part of a styled display.
Who uses your books?
Our books are used in libraries, shops, window displays, boutiques, theatres, hotels, restaurants, photo-shoots and events. We have supplied well known retailers and brands, including Harrods, Selfridges and Ted Baker.
Can you supply books on a particular subject?
Yes. We can supply old leather books on a chosen subject, such as historical, theatrical or sporting titles. This is ideal if you are creating a themed display for your business.
Can you help design a library?
Yes. We supply books for business and personal libraries. We are also happy to give advice on books and library design so you get exactly the look you want. We have created libraries for the Rosewood Hotel Group and throughout The L’Oscar Hotel in Holborn.
Can I have a library of my favourite authors?
Yes. We can help you build a personalised library of your favourite classics, including Charles Dickens, William Shakespeare, Jane Austen, the Brontës, poetry and many more.
Can the books match, or do they have to be mixed?
Either works. Books can be displayed in uniformity for a smart, matching look. They can also be carefully arranged for a more eclectic style. Tell us the look you have in mind and we will choose books to suit.
How quickly can you supply books?
We specialise in a fast turnaround. Timings depend on how many books you need and whether you want a particular subject or author. Call us with your deadline and we will let you know what is possible.
How much do the books cost?
Prices depend on the quantity, age and style of the books you need. Get in touch with details of your project and we will give you a quote.
