Bernard Shapero

Bernard Shapero is a renowned international dealer in rare books and works on paper. He began buying and selling rare books in 1979 in Gray’s Antiques Market, moving to a purpose-designed gallery in Holland Park in 1989 and then Mayfair in 1996. His specialist knowledge lies primarily in works of Natural History, Travel and Literature, but his years in the rare book world and his enthusiasm for printed and illustrated books in general make him a font of bibliographic knowledge.
