Work with us:
We don't currently have any regular full time or part time bookseller vacancies available at the bookshop.
If you have experience as a bookseller, and a demonstrable interest in secondhand, out of print and rare books, and would like to know more about working with us, send us your CV and a cover letter explaining why you are interested in working with us, what your experience is, and what your availability is.
Please send any enquiries to Michael Cubey, Operations Director
Please email these to Michael here.
Please don't make in person or phone enquiries to the bookshop regarding vacancies as colleagues at the shop won't be able to provide any more information than we have made available here.
Please note that we don't normally consider any applications without some previous bookshop or bookselling experience, and we don't offer any unpaid internships, as we don't believe in unpaid work, and we don't have the capacity to offer work experience as a small shop.

Continuing tradition…and keeping London in books
There has been a book shop at 56 Charing Cross since the 1920s, if not earlier.
56 Charing Cross Road in the 1920s, when the shop was owned by the folklorist AH Mayhew. The entrance, lighting, signs and staff attire have changed since then, but we still have our shelves of books outside the shop.

A note for agents, publishers and authors :
We are a secondhand bookshop, we don't sell any new publications and can't stock your newly published book, sorry.
We also don't host book launches, signings, readings, or other similar events. We have quite small spaces, we are open nearly all the time, and its not really the venue for this.
