The Book Collector is the leading English-language journal for encouraging, supporting and informing all kinds of book collecting. Its quarterly issues uphold the standards of design and content which have graced bookshelves since its foundation in 1952. Today it is also available online, with a fully digitised archive and a free e-newsletter.
Alongside articles on the writing, publishing and collecting of books we carry news about sales and catalogues, book reviews, obituaries, and interviews with collectors and dealers. Our News and Comment pages have long been valued as a quarry for information on people and events in the book world.
