Black Swan Books is TEMPORARILY closed in the aftermath of a “water event” in an adjacent building.
We expect that we will be down through April and hope to resume sending our weekly e-catalogues sometime in May. At that time we will be open “by appointment only”. Until then our books will not be for sale. In the meantime, you can contact us by email at nick@blackswanbooks.com.
