The Book Palace
We are a retailer and distributor of all
types of illustrated books on popular culture, and are also a premier source of original British and
American comics, graphic novels, annuals and pocket books.
Our excellent contacts and know-how mean that we are able to source many out-of-print, back-catalogued books and limited
editions that are otherwise unavailable, many at a major discount to the published price.
The business was founded in the last Century (1997!) by Geoff West and Ken Harman, who between them have over 50 years
experience in supplying books, comics, magazines and original art to collectors and readers worldwide.

Conquistador

Conquistador was founded in 1977 by Geoff as a
mail-order company specialising in books, portfolios and artwork seldom, if
ever, found in the shops. Our catalogues are published regularly and their
scope and size have increased substantially over the years.
Conquistador is now widely recognised as the leading supplier of artwork and
books associated with comic and illustration art, and boasts a stock selection
unequalled by any shop in the UK.

Ken Harman Comics

Ken Harman Comics was founded in 1970 and began
supplying Golden Age (1940s and 1950s) and Silver Age (1950s and 1960s)
American comics to collectors worldwide and has built up an enviable
reputation as a reliable and conscientious dealer of rare comics.
Through his extensive travels Ken has established close contacts with numerous
dealers worldwide. He is able to source comics and annuals (rare and the less
rare!) and helps collectors to fulfill their 'wants lists', even with
comics seldom, if ever, found in the UK or the USA.
