Bricks and mortar bookshop in East London. We sell second hand and collectible books. Most subjects are covered, but we are especially strong on literature (both paperbacks and first and rare editions), music and photography. Only a small part of our collection is available online. Please get in touch if you're looking for a particular title, or pop over to our shop in Leyton, East London. We are proud of our history as a renowned second hand bookshop, trading many years on the famous Charing Cross Road. In 2020 the Charing Cross Road shop closed down.

Seller's business information

Quinto Bookshop

United Kingdom

Quinto was a bookselling phenomenon on Charing Cross Road in London. The shop was established in the mid-1980’s, taking over from E. Joseph, one of the first booksellers in the street, and became famous for the massive queues outside when they had their monthly ‘changeovers’.

In 2008 **Quinto **merged with antiquarian booksellers Francis Edwards, a London business since 1855, and continued a few doors down the road on 72 Charing Cross Road.

In March 2020 the decision was made not to renew the lease on Charing Cross Road. Francis Edwards still trades at the Old Cinema in Hay-on-Wye. Quinto only sells online for the time being and in this way continues a long tradition of selling quality second hand and antiquarian books, drawing on decades of experience at the heart of the London book trade.
