It is estimated that Maggs’s huge inventory consists of over 100,000 titles, although no one has ever made a precise count. To put this in context, placed end to end their bookshelves would measure two miles in total. Books are helpfully divided into six useful categories: Continental, Early British, Military & Naval, Modern, Natural History and Travel Books. Maggs are serious about books without being stuffy and their expert staff are capable of satisfying a wide range of enquiries. In 2017, Maggs relocated to their new premises in a restored Georgian townhouse, close to The British Museum in Bloomsbury.
