Andrew Pringle Booksellers
Having been established in the splendour of Dundas Street for sixteen years Pringle Booksellers moved to the more modest prospects of West Port in 2003, to the shop previously occupied by Grant and Shaw Booksellers. They deal in a wide range of books but with some emphasis on Scottish Books, Literature, History, Art, Bibliography, Heraldry, Military, Fine Bindings and General Antiquarian Books. There is a small selection of prints and maps. The shop itself is divided into two levels, the owner of course preferring the higher. To his right, at the top of the shop, is a fine antiquarian bookcase and slightly less fine antiquarian chair. There is no large dog, but customers may encounter good conversation, if the owner is in the mood. Andrew Pringle Booksellers is the only West Port bookshop to belong to ABA, a group who are (or at least think they are) the aristocrats of antiquarian bookselling. www.pringlebooks.co.uk.
