About Us

Company History Bernard Shapero first entered the antiquarian book business over 20 years ago as a very young man. In 1979 he opened a stand in Gray's Antique Market, near Bond Street. By 1986 the business had expanded so much that a larger premises was required and, in June of that year, Bernard moved to a large shop in Holland Park Avenue, west London. He also became the youngest member of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association. Three years later a Print Gallery was opened in the basement. In 1996 Bernard Shapero with his new partner Tommaso Zanzotto purchased an impressive five-floor house, 32 Saint George Street, Mayfair. The gallery moved into the newly refurbished lower ground floor in November 2004. We are members of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association (ABA); Verband Deutscher Antiquare; The British Antique Dealers Association (BADA); and the Provincial Booksellers Fairs Association (PBFA). |
