Eton Antique Bookshop
88 High Street  
ETON  Berkshire  SL4 6AF
tel: 01753 855534  map
    Having made a special lengthy journey to the shop after two telephone conversations with the owner, who had assured me that he "had loads" of the titles I was seeking, I arrived to find that I had been seriously misled. I did see some quality books on the shelves but my annoyance was such that I spent little time having a detailed look. - Chris Harte 09.02.10.

    Now has Elmo Books (01730 716351) selling high class sports books, mainly football and motor racing but also boxing and rugby. - John Bacon 28.01.09.
    Other than being a splendid place to find trinkets and the like the upstairs bookshop part is excellent. It is many a while since I spent time in going twice around the shelves of a dealer's offerings. There was a very varied stock with some antiquarian gems in places you would not expect to find them. Well worth calling in if you are passing. As noted above the ground floor sports section is also first rate. - Chris Harte 31.08.10.

"Old bookshops are so much fewer than they were, but they are still a good place to take leave of your troubles."
