About

Julia Woodward Antykwariat was established to offer carefully selected rare books, manuscripts, historical documents, and other works of enduring historical, scholarly, and collectible significance to collectors and institutions throughout the European Union. Drawing upon several years of experience gained through WoodPaz Books Ltd., the business combines careful selection with professional cataloguing and a commitment to the highest standards of the antiquarian book trade.

Every acquisition is selected not only for its rarity, but also for its historical importance and lasting scholarly or collecting interest. Through careful research, thoughtful presentation, and personal service, the aim is to place exceptional material into collections where it will continue to be appreciated and preserved.

Julia

An appreciation for history and the written word has inspired her to establish Julia Woodward Antykwariat. She believes that every rare book and manuscript has a story to tell—not only through its text, but also through its history, craftsmanship, and journey across the centuries.

Poland

Operating from Poland provides practical advantages for collectors throughout the European Union. While certain cultural objects may still require export licences and specialised procedures, trading within the EU simplifies many aspects of acquisition, including VAT administration, shipping, and cross-border logistics, allowing purchases to proceed as efficiently as possible.

Areas of Interest

The catalogue spans a broad range of collecting fields, from medieval manuscripts and incunabula to early printing, historical documents, maps, music, and other rare works. Particular attention is given to material that combines historical importance with lasting scholarly and collecting interest.

Customer Relationships

The business is founded upon long-term relationships rather than individual transactions. Whether assisting private collectors or institutions, the emphasis is on honest advice, reliable service, and helping clients build meaningful collections over time.

Our Commitment

To continue building a carefully curated catalogue that reflects the richness and diversity of the history of the book, while helping place important works into collections where they will be preserved, studied, and appreciated for generations to come.
