As measures to slow the pace of COVID-19 within the United Kingdom are brought into place, please be assured that Shapero Rare Books are prioritising the health and safety of both our staff and our customers.

From Tuesday 17th March, 2020 our Bookshop and Gallery at 32 St George Street, will be open by appointment for business and we would ask anyone planning a visit to telephone 020-7493 0876 or email rarebooks@shapero.com beforehand.

Whilst we will have a skeleton staff at the Bookshop, many of our booksellers and gallery staff will be working from home for the foreseeable future and we will be forwarding calls to them from 32 St George Street, however the whole team will be available by email as usual.

In the meantime, we have taken the precaution of cancelling planned Bookshop events and Gallery openings until the beginning of May.  This will include the launch of the Jon Wealleans show ‘Postcards’ which will now take place later in the year.

Whilst COVID-19 presents an enormous challenge to everyone around the globe, we would like to assure you that the Scholium Group of Companies, including Shapero Rare Books, will endeavour to provide the same level of service as you have come to expect.
