PY Rare Books was launched in 2017 after I spent more than ten years working with Shapero Rare  Books.

Thanks to its specialist knowledge, PY Rare Books has now become the book dealer outside Russia  holding the largest stock of works pertaining to the history, culture and politics of the Russian  Empire and its neighbouring regions (such as Eastern Europe, Caucasus, Central Asia, Russian  America, the Pacific...).

Operating from an office in Mayfair, London, we are able to offer rare Russian literature, important works on the history  of the Empire and its regions, striking examples of Russian art from Coronation albums to Ballet Russe and the Avant-Garde, and richly illustrated accounts of travels and explorations.

We aim to provide our customers with the highest quality of service and a straightforward approach to collecting. We focus on rare, unusual and attractive books and prints, occasionally maps and autographs.

Feel free
to contact us - in Russian, French, German or English.
