Tel: 01404 41727 or 07831 138 011
The shop is normally open from Monday to Saturday, 10.30am to 4pm; earlier or later by appointment.
However, we may be closed from time to time in order to attend book fairs or buying trips - for instance we are closed Tuesday 3rd December, re-opening on Tuesday 10th December whilst we attend the Internationale Antiquarenbeurs van België in Mechelen. We'd be delighted to see you there if you're likely to be in Belgium.
Established in 1982, we have over 20,000 books in stock, including large collections on Spain, Gypsies, Travel, Local History, Literature, Theatre, Music, Art, Architecture, Cookery and a particular leaning for the works of George Borrow. We also stock objects that appeal to us, like microscopes, stereoscopes, zograscopes, old maps, prints and ephemera, and we have some bookcases for sale.
A large part of our stock is available online here.
For more information, or to order a book, email books@gyork.co.uk or phone 07831 138 011.
A recent purchase, Joannes Jansson "COMITATUS DORCESTRIA, VULGO ANGLICE DORSETSHIRE", published in Amsterdam circa 1640, image size 500mm x 380mm, hand-coloured, framed and glazed and in superb condition.
Tuesday 30th July we see the Hot Pennies Ceremony, celebrated for over 800 years - come along and watch the local children get their fingers burned - oh how we laugh! This painting by Andrew Stacey and David Johnson, 1981, used to hang above the bar in the White Lion pub opposite the shop, but was rescued from a skip when the pub was being renovated in the 1980s. Normally we would have it on display in the shop, but this has not been possible this year.
...but clearly Lottie, the shop dog, disapproves!
