Rare Books and Manuscripts
About Us
Founded in January 2023, Fold the Corner specialise in rare, beautiful, and eclectic books and manuscripts 'Old and New'. Our scope of interest is wide, and we seek out the unusual, the unique, and the curious. We currently hold stock in such specialisms as early printing, contemporary fine bindings, Philosophy, Literature, Surrealism and Modern First Editions (from 1900 to the present day). We also work closely with the Canadian writer and illustrator Charles van Sandwyk, and carry a constant supply of his books, artworks and etchings, making us one of the few dealers in the UK to do so.
As well as continuously updating our stock, we travel widely, exhibiting at fairs and connecting with customers and other members of the trade throughout the UK. With the combined knowledge of years of experience of books and the trade, we pride ourselves on our friendly, approachable style and attention to detail, 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 by prior arrangement - please contact us to arrange an appointment: books@foldthecornerbooks.co.uk. We accept all major credit cards and ship worldwide.
Proud members of both the Antiquarian Booksellers’ Association and the Provincial Booksellers Fairs Association, we subscribe to their code of good conduct. For further details, please see our terms and conditions.

Co-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 co-founding Fold the Corner.
