About The Peculiar Old Cat and Fiddle Bookshop
The Peculiar Old Cat and Fiddle Bookshop has a passion for fine and rare books covering all things art, all things music, 19th Century literature and culture, fine illustrations and modern firsts. The Cat digs artistic and counter-cultural movements, and also of course the unusual and the curious (hence the "Peculiar" in the name). The Cat's yen for the 19th century (including art, fashion, affairs, exploration) is possibly influenced by living in a 19th century brownstone, a future gallery for the store.Selling online since 2003 with great customer feedback - if the customer is happy, we are happy.
