Outstanding and one of the best booksellers in the country. The catalogues are meticulously well researched and informative enough to be collector's items in their own right. I once acquired a biograp... Voir plus

One of the most delightful second hand bookshops that I know. Great stock for enjoyable browsing. The wrapping of purchased books in green paper is an addtional joy - a keen pleasure to walk along Micklegate with a Spelman package. Always an essential treat when I visit York

It's a truly excellent shop
It's a truly excellent shop. I have happy memories of past visits, sadly currently not possible, but the postal service has always been equally good.

Excellent Professional Booksellers
Purchased from this bookseller a few years ago and found them very helpful with a large range of books which in my specialised was very useful. The number of booksellers has reduced over the years so it is very useful to receive their very regular catalogues and presentations on-line.

A wonderful bookshop!
I have bought books from Tony Fothergill at Ken Spelman for decades. It’s a lovely old fashioned Second hand bookshop in the heart of historic York. The range of books Is impressive, from paperbacks to Antiquarian books worth thousands. The staff are charming and knowledgeable. This is what bookshops should be like!

Always a treat to visit
Highly recommended: terrific shop, interesting books of all kinds, in generally superior condition, and with knowledgable and friendly staff. Online orders aren't as good as a visit, but you can buy with confidence (and return if necessary, without quibbles).
