Bowes & Bowes was a bookselling and publishing company based in Cambridge, England. It was established by Robert Bowes (1835–1919), a nephew of Daniel Macmillan (1813–1857 — the founder, with his brother Alexander, {{nowrap|in 1843}}, of {{nowrap|Macmillan & Co.}}, another successful bookshop in Cambridge). The company became known as ‘{{nowrap|Bowes & Bowes}}’ only {{nowrap|in 1907}}, following George Brimley Bowes’s (Robert Bowes’s son’s) becoming a partner in the firm {{nowrap|in 1899}}. The firm continued as a family business until 1953 when it was acquired by {{nowrap|W H Smith}}, who continued to operate it under the original name {{nowrap|until 1986}}. In that year the business’s name was changed to Sherratt & Hughes. The {{nowrap|Bowes & Bowes}} site at 1, Trinity Street, Cambridge has a claim to be the oldest bookshop in the country, books having been sold there since 1581.[1] Since the closure of {{nowrap|Sherratt & Hughes}} in 1992, the site has been the home of the Cambridge University Press bookshop. The firm’s backlist included titles by Erich Heller, who was also the general editor of a series of books published by Bowes & Bowes (Studies in Modern European Literature and Thought, some of which were printed in the Netherlands). By far their most prestigious author was Edwin Keppel Bennett.{{citation needed|date=April 2015}} See also
