About Us

Arundel Books was founded in 1984 as a fine press publisher specializing in art and poetry; three years later, we began selling rare and out-of print books.

Over the years we have changed a great deal, and now operates a retail bookstore in Seattle, an affiliated Indie publishing company called Chatwin Books, and a book printing and binding operation including both digital printing and our own vintage letterpress printing press.

Our store and press has an independent mindset, and a select, diverse stock that is constantly changing and growing. Our goal is to reflect and enhance the community in which we live and work.

No matter where you order from, we can assure you that your order will be handled promptly and professionally, and that we pack and ship every order with care.

Whether you come see us at our store, or visit us at our website, we appreciate your consideration and look forward to serving you.
