STK Posted October 25, 2022 Share #1 Posted October 25, 2022 Dear All I have a short-term opportunity to go to London for the coming weekend. Anyone knows of some good bookshops for historic ships / naval history in the city (probably older books or 2nd hand)? - I used to always visit Foyles, but since the refurbishment they have much more focused on other, more popular topics it seems. Thanks a lot Steve mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grsjax Posted October 25, 2022 Share #2 Posted October 25, 2022 I would have suggested Foyles but I haven't been there in over 20 years so I guess that would be out of date. When I was there I went over to Greenwich and found several nautical themed bookshops there. Been a long time so they could be all gone now. mtaylor 1 Quote My advice and comments are always worth what you paid for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce d Posted October 25, 2022 Share #3 Posted October 25, 2022 Haven't visited them in a while but these people are long-time specialists (and five minutes away from Cuty Sark!): About Us (navalandmaritimebooks.com) HTH.
