Welcome

Specialized bookstore entirely devoted to the Pin-up, Erotic, Glamour and Fashion universes.
Please note that we only sell vintage books on the above-mentioned topics.

Since October 30, 2007 Le Petit Saint James left Bordeaux where he was for over 15 years with the excellent bookstore “La Librairie Castéra” ( creator of the first book referencing popular litterature, comic strips, detective, science-fiction and adventure novels ), wich is a part of the “ Complexe Saint-Nicolas”, the most important complex for popular editions across Europe.
Our bookstore offers more than several thousand specialized books ; we also work with 20 foreign countries.
The rigor in describing the items and the care taken in their shipment are two of our many assets..
This website is here mostly to allow you to have an overview of our bookstore.

For further information ( price, availability etc… ), please go to our Contact page.

 There are also our catalogs :
“ From the cave age to our present time, from Pierre Louys to Color Climax, or from Paris-Hollywood to Playboy”, our catalogs consist of , for each item, an accurate description of its history, its content, state and price.
Largely illustrated, they are now the most well-documented sources of reference; some of them have even gained value as they are no longer edited !
The items referenced on this site all come from Le Petit Saint James.
Some of them have already been sold, and can be seen here purely as eye candy.

Remember, we present here only a small part of our store ( we have more than 200000 references in stock ).
Our clientele is mostly made up of collectors.
The fact that prices are not shown is a willingness on our part, simply register and submit a list of research consistently ( or list of books that you already have )
all of this is completely free.

With the passage of time we are dealing less and less research about «simples ideas» or for only one tittle. It has taken too long for nothing, and no sympatical answer. So if you don’t have a list of research, don’t be surprised by our silence.

Prices vary depending on the condition, content, rarity, the importance of the order, it would not be loqic to give them.
We never had any remarks on our prices, the condition of magazines, availability and responsiveness since the site is open .. That is to say!
We also have exclusive distribution Aslan Publishing for Europe ( postcards, playing cards, etc ...)
Installed in a small flowery town and the Petit Saint James evolves ..
We are always on appointment, but the address of the street Gambetta is one of our offices and an another library « La Desperada » library « varia » ( Thriller
, BD, fanzines, books for children, gastronomy etc. .. ) to receive customers in the region as we work on the site.
The former store « Le Petit Saint James » is a showroom to another address near by.
The 34 rue Gambetta being before an hotel-restaurant, after converting we have kept the part of the hotel to receive our customers collectors of any country.
This concept is unique : it is normal for collectors making a long journey to come to us are invited at our table and received even at home!
This region is superb with this Marais Poitevin ( Venise Verte ), and all around Niort, we will not loose customers by doing so!

Popular culture doing well with humour and free thinking, go very regularly in our news section. You will find humor, mood, and particularly useful information. Friends of the popular universe, enjoy your visit !
