Rare Books and Manuscripts
About Fold the Corner
At Fold the Corner, we specialise in rare, beautiful, and esoteric books and manuscripts, mostly dating from before 1700. With a focus on History, Philosophy and Medicine, we deal especially in titles with a strongly visual aspect, many containing fine engravings or woodcuts.
As well as constantly updating our stock of books, we travel widely, visiting fairs and connecting with customers and other members of the trade. We pride ourselves on our friendly, approachable service and attention to detail, each individual book treated with due respect and care.
We are currently an online business, although our books can 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 the Antiquarian Booksellers’ 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.
