Store description
Founded in January 2023, Fold the Corner specialises in rare, beautiful, and eclectic books, letters and manuscripts from the 18th to 21st centuries. Areas of interest include Philosophy, Literature, Counterculture and Modern First Editions (from 1900 to the present day). I also work closely with the Canadian writer and illustrator Charles van Sandwyk, and carry a constant supply of his books, artworks and etchings, and am one of the few dealers in the UK to do so.
