We specialise in books on language; dictionaries, grammars, courses, phrase-books, linguistics and general philology. We deal in all languages but particularly love the Slavonic and lesser-spoken ones - English slang and dialect, pidgins and creoles, Celtica, Uralic and Altaic groups, the Classics and all Ancient languages.
We also specialise in rare and out-of-print books on the lost Empires of Europe and Asia and their successors, from Byzantium and the Ottomans, through Austria-Hungary and the Russia of the Tsars and commissars to the Central Asia of Mongolia, Siberia, the 'Stans' and the Great Game. Travel-writing, Baedekers and Murrays and other good guide books are part of our stock.
