Allsworth Rare Books was established in 2002 by Jenny Allsworth, after ten years’ experience working at major London booksellers (Bernard Quaritch Ltd., Henry Sotheran Ltd. and Bernard Shapero).

We specialise in fine travel books and nineteenth century photographs, with a particular emphasis on Africa and the Far East.

We provide guidance, valuations and commission bids for collectors and institutions in the United Kingdom and overseas. Based in office premises in central London, business hours are by appointment (please call in advance for an appointment and directions). The nearest tube station is Tottenham Court Road or a short walk from the British Library.

We also exhibit at book fairs. If you would like to receive catalogues, we would be happy to add you to the mailing list; please send in your contact details, together with information about your collecting interests.
