Welcome to Maggs Bros. Ltd.

“The fact of knowing how to read is nothing the whole point is knowing what to read.”Jacques Ellul

Maggs Bros Ltd has been dealing in rare books and manuscripts since 1853. Our staff is organized into nine different departments, each offering a different expertise.

We are based in a fine Georgian townhouse in London’s Berkeley Square, and from there run an international business, travelling frequently throughout the world to buy, to sell and to advise.
