Terms & Services

Our Customer Commitment

We remain active collectors and bring a collector's sensibilities to bookselling. We strive to treat our customers as we wish to be treated. This ethos informs our terms and services.

Even though much of the antiquarian book business is now online, we try to bring the same level of personal care and attention that a collector might find in a traditional "brick and mortar" bookshop. 

Our descriptions are reliably detailed, accurate, and forthright, always accompanied by images of the actual item offered, enabling our customers to be fully informed and confident about any purchase. We endeavor to answer inquiries fully and swiftly. We pack and ship all orders with care and attention.

We have considerable experience with most of the myriad works by and about Winston Churchill. We are committed not only to helping Churchill’s words find your shelves, but to sharing our bibliographic experience via our online Guide to Churchill’s books, our blog and videos, and direct communication. What we know we are happy to share. And what we don’t know we are eager to learn. Please feel free to contact us with questions and comments.
