About Christian White Rare Books Ltd
Christian White Rare Books is a leading rare bookseller in the UK. Our major specialities are in manuscripts (late medieval up to the present day) alongside printed books from the handpress period, annotated books, and association copies from all phases of our history - books with interesting provenance. These interests are reflected in our varied offerings in literature, economics, politics and philosophy, history and the sciences and we offer high spots in all these areas. We aim to buy and sell the best books available in today's marketplace. We are proud to be members of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association and the PBFA. We offer an unconditional guarantee on everything that we sell. You can find us exhibiting regularly at rare book fairs in the United Kingdom, in London and Edinburgh and abroad at the New York Antiquarian Book Fair. Locally we exhibit at fairs across northern England, including the January and September York bookfairs. In the interests of making the business carbon neutral we have recently acquired 4 acres of land in North Yorkshire where we are planting trees as a long-term carbon sink. Your purchases have made this project possible and will help to sustain it.
