Bow Windows Bookshop

Founded 1964, Bow Windows Bookshop is a member of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association who, in turn, are affiliated to the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers (ILAB), as well as the Provincial Bookfairs Association (PBFA). The bookshop has been owned in joint partnership since 2010 by Ric Latham and Jonathan Menezes, who are assisted on a part-time basis by Gilly Barrett.

Bow Windows Bookshop was founded by Dawsons, a large public company that also owned Frank Hammond, Deighton Bell and Dawsons of Pall Mall. From 1984 until 2010 the business was run by Alan and Jennifer Shelley, who moved it from the original bow-windowed premises into the current, more central location, in 1994.
