ABA Bookshops - The Thames Valley
|
Bennett & Kerr Books (ABA, PBFA) was established in 1982 by Edmund Bennett and Andrew Kerr. We specialise in antiquarian, rare and scholarly books on the Middle Ages and Renascence, and issue regular catalogues. We have over seven thousand volumes in stock in our rather unprepossessing warehouse, at the end of a farmyard, beyond the church, in the beautiful village of Steventon, south of Oxford. Visitors are welcome here - we are usually open 9.30-5.30 Mon-Fri and for a shorter time on Saturday, but we recommend telephoning first (01235 820604) to avoid disappointment.

Blackwell's began trading on the 1st of January 1879 as a dealer in rare and secondhand books. Benjamin Henry Blackwell traded from a single tiny room which was all but filled by one chair and one customer. How times have changed: that room soon expanded into the main Blackwell's shop at 48-51 Broad Street, which now features inside it the largest room dedicated to bookselling in Europe. B. H. Blackwell issued Catalogue No. 1 upon opening the shop and quickly found buyers among the great and the good of Oxford. Among its many entries were fine books such as Loggan's Oxoniana illustrata - one of the most expensive of the catalogue's books at £5 - a first edition of Hobbes' Leviathan for 18s. and Piranesi's Le antichita romane (1651) in four volumes for £5/10/-.
