From Notting Hill to Norfolk, Simon Finch has had many bookshops over the years. His latest shop, Voewood Rare Books, opened its doors in mid-November 2025. Voewood Rare Books, alongside sister company Voewood Vaults, deals in rare and unique books, artifacts and artworks.
The shop is situated in Lion House Court, the book quarter of Georgian market town Holt, North Norfolk.
The shop is open Thursday, Friday and Saturday, or by appointment, but we can always be contacted by email or the contact form here.
We exhibit at book fairs throughout the year. Voewood Rare Books are members of the Antiquarian Booksellers' Association (ABA), Provincial Booksellers Fairs Association (PBFA) and the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers (ILAB), and adhere to the strict standards, code of practice, and ethics set by these associations.
