 ohn Drury Rare Books was founded by David Edmunds in 1971. We have been a member of the ABA and ILAB for over 30 years. The firm has always specialised in antiquarian and rare books, pamphlets and broadsides mainly printed between about 1600 and 1900 in the human and social sciences. We usually also stock a small number of manuscripts and autograph letters in these same subject areas.
Although most of our books tend to be in English, we also frequently have in stock material in other languages.
We work from home in rural Essex. Prearranged visits are welcome, and, with prudent timing, visitors can usually expect a half-decent working lunch. Our cottage is in East Anglia on the Essex / Suffolk border and there is a marvellous view of the Stour Estuary Nature Reserve.
Our next catalogue, titled "CATALOGUE 144:
A CELEBRATORY OLYMPICS MISCELLANY of BOOKS,
PAMPHLETS, BROADSIDES, and MANUSCRIPTS, 1562 - 1901",
will be mailed to our existing customers during
the week beginning 8 September 2008.

 Online purchasing is now available!
Most of our books can now be purchased directly from the website - further details here. We have approaching 2,000 books on the website, but we have many more than that at our premises. Most of our books are sold through our printed catalogues and therefore never get onto the website - if you would like a copy of our latest catalogue please contact us.
