History
In 1999, literary agent David Headley partnered with Daniel Gedeon to open their bookshop Goldsboro Books on Cecil Court, a pedestrian street in Westminster nicknamed "Bookseller's Row" due to its high volume of booksellers, which has been the case for over a century. Goldsboro Books set out to tailor its collection to rare, first and collectible editions of books. The shop gained a "reputation for championing debut novels" in addition to attracting authors and publishers for various events.{{Cite web|url=https://www.uptownoracle.com/goldsboro-books/|title=Bookshop Journeys: Uncovering the Gem of Goldsboro Books in the Heart of London|work=Uptown Oracle|accessdate=21 September 2024}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.thebookseller.com/features/goldsboro-books-hits-25-years-with-boss-david-headley-keen-on-growth|title=Goldsboro Books hits 25 years with boss David Headley keen on growth|work=The Bookseller|first=Caroline|last=Carpenter|date=20 September 2024|accessdate=5 January 2025}}
