Collinge & Clark

A niche second-hand specialist in independent small-press publications, particularly Typography, Calligraphy Design et al. The rare, the recherché and the the-unfamiliar. Whether a dedicated collector or endemically curious, you’re likely to find a title here that’s eminently desirable. …… “the love of books is a charming eccentricity: it is respectable, it is innocent, it proves you have an honest soul, a contented mind.” Jules Janin.

A bibliophile’s dream. Excellent selection of rare small press books, strong on poetry, plus some other hidden gems. I once purchased a fabulous sheet of marbled paper from the estate of an artist. The owner warms up quickly when one engages him.

A really beautiful collection of short release and one-off handcrafted books that the owner took the time to describe their makers to me. Lovely shop.

my daughter is a bookworm, and she appreciated the books out front and wanted to go inside. we didn't because we have read reviews that weren't the best. we did get our giggle on because we LOVED BLACK BOOKS. Plan on returning and buying something for sure.

Millwall, Millwall, you're all really dreadful

Went in and the owner was incredibly rude to me. This is also the exterior to the Black Books bookshop. I don't think these two things are a coincidence. Five stars.

Coming from a Black Books fan - it was truly amazing to visit the place. It's different on the inside, which I already knew, although I think the show took a lot of inspiration from the original book shop. It's quite small but cosy and you can look through the books for hours and still find new and interesting tomes as well as rare copies. Which brings me to my next point - that the books are all very specialised and quite expensive, which obviously will not be for everyone. I like antique books, but an average shopper won't have the interest or money to casually buy one of the many, many unique books. Fear not, as there was a small selection of more affordable titles. Long story short, I very much enjoyed my visit and the owner was friendly and someone to have a nice conversation with. I will be sure to pop by whenever I'm in London again and who knows maybe one day I'll be able to get one of the books. 😊

Best bookshop ever i didnt even go in because it was closed, it was still the best, i recommend reading the little book of calm
