Quair Books specialises in modern literary and visual cultures, particularly alternative, different and radical authors/artists, presses and histories.  We also hold a small general stock, with a focus on unusual, interesting and beautiful books, as well as significant titles in the history of ideas.  Like other collectors and bibliophiles, we are drawn to unique books and important pedigrees, but also appreciate the broad spectrum of collecting, having a particular fondness for politically pertinent series such as VMC, GMP and The Women’s Press.
