WELCOME FROM

I own Camden Lock Books & list books that are uncommon, in demand and may be hard to find.

My book expertise came with four years as Chairman of  London P.B.F.A. , many more years of exhibiting at monthly London Rare Book Fairs & owning my own bookshops continuously since 1984.

Every book here was valued by the person who first bought it and will be just as prized by the person who buys it now from my shopping website.

The book arrived this morning and I write to thank you for posting it so quickly and packing it with such care.
The condition of the book is fantastic.
 My son said how much he would like a copy of the book, but having searched online said they were all sold.  By great good luck I found your website and am delighted with my purchase.

I'm extremely pleased with it! I've been collecting New Zealand printed music for nearly 40 years, so I was delighted to have the chance to buy this little gem. I greatly appreciated your efficient service and excellent packing. Even in the middle of Covid restrictions, the booklet got from one side of the world to the other, in only a week or two.

I just wanted to thank you for the Lewis Carrol books, they arrived some weeks ago and in very good condition.
Again I'm very thankful.

The Darwin item I purchased from you arrived today and I am very pleased. It was exactly as you described it. Further, you did a d*** good job of packing it. It may be the best packing of a book that I have experienced in almost 50 years of collecting.

Thanks again!! I hope we can do more business together in the years ahead.
