Seller's Story

We have been specialist booksellers for nearly forty-seven years. My original training was in horticulture, and I have the Diploma from the Royal Botanic Garden, Kew, and I am a Fellow of the Linnean Society. We have been fortunate in acquiring many major collections from prominent botanists and naturalists over the years, and our website stock reflects this and contains many unusual and esoteric items.
