History Books

Antique history books offer a fascinating glimpse into the past, giving an insight into the thoughts and views of previous generations and preserving knowledge and events from times gone by.  Old books allow us to not only connect with history but also to appreciate the craftmanship and significance of early printed works, particularly early editions of 17th century and 18th century books.   We have an extension selection of old history books covering a variety of geographical locations and historic subjects of interest.  Having been the catalyst for J.W.B Books, we have a particular passion for Scottish history books and take pride in offering a great selection of these, featuring rare and collectable editions.  All of our history books on offer can be found below, or use the links to browse through our different historic categories.
