Children's Book Gallery is an antiquarian bookshop dealing in children's books from 1750 to 1950 that represent the best of the marketplace, both in rarity and condition. Our primary focus is on graphically interesting books from the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries aimed at children younger than adolescents, but we include all kinds of children's books with charm and character. We also specialize in original children's book art.

Children's Book Gallery, established in 2006, grew out of the highly respected rare book business, John Windle Antiquarian Bookseller, founded in 1974. Both bookshops, located in San Francisco, are dedicated to the concept of quality: in materials presented for sale; in services relating to book purchases, appraisals, auctions, display, and restoration; and in our relationships with customers and colleagues.

We guarantee every transaction with our customers unconditionally. As members of America's ABAA (Antiquarian Booksellers' Association of America), Europe's ILAB (International League of Antiquarian Booksellers), and England's PBFA (Provincial Booksellers' Fairs Association), we subscribe to the strict Ethics Code endorsed by these organizations, and by fine antiquarian booksellers worldwide.
