ABOUT US
WHAT WE DO
BEAUX BOOKS is an independent bookseller specialising in fine, rare and vintage books on the art and culture of the 20th and 21st centuries.
Our focus is on the creative figures - artists, photographers, designers, makers, writers and performers - who have shaped our cultural world since 1900.
The shelves are stocked with a curated selection of established classics and new discoveries, as well as unique, signed and ephemeral items.
Rare books last a lifetime and are the perfect sustainable purchase, whether for yourself or a gift.
Every one of our books offer a feast for the eye and the mind.

“I founded Beaux Books in 2012, with 18 years of rare book-selling experience behind me. Since 1994 I have handled thousands of books and have built up an extensive knowledge of books on art and culture. I love working hand-in-hand with dealers, designers and personal clients to develop their collections and build their libraries.”
