About PY Rare Books

Thanks to its specialist knowledge, PY Rare Books has now become one of the few book dealers outside Russia holding the largest stock of works pertaining to the history, culture and politics of the Russian Empire and its neighbouring regions (such as Eastern Europe, Caucasus, Central Asia, Russian America, the Pacific...).

Operating from London, we are able to offer rare Russian literature, important works on the history of the Empire and its regions, striking examples of Russian art from Coronation albums to Ballet Russe and the Avant-Garde, and richly illustrated accounts of travels and explorations.

We aim to provide our customers with the highest quality of service and a straightforward approach to collecting. We focus on quality copies and on rare, unusual and attractive books and prints, occasionally maps and autographs.

Feel free to contact us - in Russian, French, German or English among others.
