Story

Located in the centre of Cecil Court, the quiet pedestrian lane lined with antiquarian bookshops, tucked away in London's bustling West End, Marchpane opened in August 1989.

During the last two decades Marchpane has become well known as a specialist in children's and illustrated books from the eighteenth century up to the present day. On our shelves you can find early publications from Newbery's moral tales to signed first editions of Harry Potter.
