Bow Windows Bookshop is an antiquarian and secondhand bookshop at 175 High Street in Lewes, trading since 1964. Current owners Ric Latham and Jonathan Menezes, partners since 2010, run the shop as members of the Antiquarian Booksellers' Association and the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers. Stock spans early leatherbound volumes, modern first editions, maps, atlases, and books on art, natural history, travel and Sussex topography. The pair issue printed catalogues and exhibit at book fairs across the UK and North America, alongside running the walk-in shop on Lewes's main street. They also value and buy collections from private sellers. The shop occupies a period building with the bow-fronted windows that give it its name, a fixture of the town's book trade for six decades. Open Monday to Saturday, 10am to 4pm, it draws collectors and browsers alike, standing alongside Lewes's several other independent bookshops as one of the town's longest-established.
