The Clique : who we are and what we do
The Clique was established in London in 1890 to publish specialist information for booksellers and book-collectors on old, rare and out-of-print books.
In the intervening 118 years, and with the advent of the internet, we've expanded to offer a number of different services, each with its own website, on collectable books, scientific instruments and watches.
These services and their websites are:
www.OldBookNews.com
Old Book News is our main website of booktrade-related services and additional links. Scientific instruments and watches have their own websites - see lower down this page.

Our UKBookWorld.com website enables you to quickly search the stock of 450 booksellers across Britain offering between them some 2.5 million old, rare and out-of-print books in all subject areas and ranging in price from £4 through to about £5,000.

If you see a book you like, you can contact the bookseller by email or phone, or order online through UKBookWorld for your order to be passed to the bookseller concerned. In either case you'll be buying the book direct from the bookseller listing the item for sale; UKBookWorld.com is not involved in any way in the supply process. Go to UKBookWorld ...
