Anna Sewell would be pleased with this fine book dealer
The 1977 limited edition signed book/slipcase of- Black Beauty with the original publisher paper wrapper arrived to me in fine condition and was well packaged for it's journey to me in the United States. The owner and staff are very proficient in the fine book trade as well as being very responsive and helpful.
Until my next purchase.

1st Class Service!
I received a very heartwarming email from Monica about the delivery and if any other help could be offered.
Very fast delivery and the book was exceptionally well packaged with a beautiful bookmark and lovely little note. Very much appreciated, 1st class service!
Fantastic postal service
I ordered a book I'd seen in store but hadn't bought on the day, but decided I wanted. Staff were hugely helpful and dispatched quickly by post, at a very reasonable price. Book arrived beautifully wrapped and carefully packaged, like receiving a really thoughtful gift from someone who cares about you. I always have a great experience with Lucius - highly recommend.
1) I liked the personal exchange
1) I liked the personal exchange. 2) I liked being connected to the Royal Mail and how quickly the book arrived and 3) price more than reasonable given the beauty of my apparently unread 1997 Phoenix Press novel. Gorgeous book.
Great company to deal with
Great company to deal with. Poppy explained the terminology in the book’s description around its condition before I purchased. They offered any extra info needed including photos etc. I love the book, it was exactly as described. Thanks Lucius!
There were so many wonderful books
There were so many wonderful books! I had only about 30 minutes to spend there and I know I could have spent several hours. The staff was helpful and made it possible for me to buy my books despite being about to head off on a walking tour, by shipping them quickly to English friends. I will definitely be stopping back next time I’m in York!
