Bow Windows Book Shop

Bow Windows Book Shop buys and sells old, fine and rare books on all subjects. Our shop is based in the beautiful county town of Lewes in Sussex near the south coast of England. Ric Latham, who started working for Bow Windows in 1998, and Jonathan Menezes regularly issue printed catalogues and exhibit at book fairs in Britain and America.

We have an excellent general stock of books that range in value from a few pounds to several thousand, and whilst we have areas of speciality (fine bindings, travel, natural history, geology, Sussex, etc.) we buy and sell most subjects from antiquarian material to modern first editions.

Without books the development of civilization would have been impossible. They are the engines of change, windows on the world, 'Lighthouses' as the poet said 'erected in the sea of time.' They are companions, teachers, magicians, bankers of the treasures of the mind. Books are humanity in print.

Arthur Schopenhauer
