We have been established for forty years and are specialists in English STC books (printed before 1640), Continental printed books before and up to the mid 1600s and medieval and renaissance manuscripts, both decorative and textual. In all these fields we carry an <a href=\"https:\/\/sokol.co.uk\/shop\/\">extensive stock<\/a> and aim to cover the widest possible range of subjects, languages and prices. We are known for the accuracy and depth of our descriptions and for the quality of our copies, usually in contemporary or <a href=\"https:\/\/sokol.co.uk\/stock-category\/fine-bindings\/\">fine bindings<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are always happy to add new names to our extensive <a href=\"https:\/\/mailchi.mp\/sokol.co.uk\/sokol-books-sign-up\">mailing list<\/a> and produce one or two <a href=\"https:\/\/sokol.co.uk\/about-us\/\">catalogues <\/a>a year as well as frequently offering any items which might be of interest. We also regularly search for items to satisfy customers\u2019 particular wants or assist more generally in building their collections. Many of our customers are leading institutions and collectors throughout the world, but many are more modest bibliophiles who share our particular passion. All are equally valued and most are long-standing. You, like them, can purchase from us in complete confidence that you can rely on our experience and expertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:37px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-top is-resized\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/sokol.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/2014-01-10-13.19.45-680x1024.jpg\" alt=\"2014-01-10 13.19.45\" class=\"wp-image-3897 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sokol.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/2014-01-10-13.19.45-680x1024.jpg 680w, https:\/\/sokol.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/2014-01-10-13.19.45-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/sokol.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/2014-01-10-13.19.45-624x939.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<div style=\"height:36px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get in touch by phone or email<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Shop:&nbsp;+44 (0)207 351 5119<br>Mayfair Office:&nbsp;+44 (0)207 499 5571<br>Email: books@sokol.co.uk<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are also welcome to contact us via one of our social media channels: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sokolbooks\">Instagram<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sokolbooks\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.twitter.com\/sokolbooks\">X<\/a> (formerly Twitter), and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/sokol-books-793482a2\">LinkedIn<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you would like to offer us a book, we ask that you kindly fill in the form on our<a href=\"https:\/\/sokol.co.uk\/book-offer\/\"> Selling to Us<\/a> web-page.
