Rare Books and Manuscripts

About the Company

Founded in January 2023, Fold the Corner specialises in rare, beautiful, and eclectic books and manuscripts, mostly between the 18th to 2oth centuries. My scope of interest is wide, and I seek out the unusual, the unique, and the curious. Specialisms currently include Philosophy, Counterculture, Modern First Editions (from 1900 to the present day), Revolutionary and General Literature. I also work closely with the Canadian writer and illustrator Charles van Sandwyk, carrying a constant supply of his books, artworks and etchings, and am one of the few dealers in the UK to do so. 

As well as continuously updating my stock, I travel widely, exhibiting at fairs and connecting with customers and other members of the trade throughout Europe. With many years of experience of books and the trade, I pride myself on my friendly, approachable style and attention to detail, with each individual book treated with the due respect, time and care it deserves.

Fold the Corner currently operates as a predominantly online business, although our books can always be viewed at the many book fairs I exhibit at throughout the year, as well as by prior appointment by contacting me directly using the email address books@foldthecornerbooks.co.uk. I accept all major credit cards and ship worldwide.

Proud member of both the Antiquarian Booksellers’ Association and the Provincial Booksellers Fairs Association, I subscribe to their code of good conduct. For further details, please see my terms and conditions.

Rebekah Cron

Owner and Founder

Rebekah grew up in her grandfather’s library, surrounded by medieval manuscripts, incunables, and Horace the human skull - a family heirloom, who had pride of place in the heart of the collection. After completing her BA in Philosophy at the University of Exeter, and stints at Bernard Quaritch and Robert Frew, she gained an MA in the History of the Book from the University of London in 2016. In 2018, she joined Henry Sotheran, where she worked as Head of Literature for six years before founding Fold the Corner in 2023.
