A Dictionary of the Printers and Booksellers who were at Work in England, Scotland and Ireland from 1668 to 1725, by Henry Plomer (1922)

GARRET (JOHN), bookseller in London, (a) at the foot of, (b) going up, the stairs of the Royal Exchange out of Cornhill, 1676–97. Probably the successor of Thomas Jenner; he dealt in maps, gazetteers, &c. Dunton [p. 292] has a reference to "Indenture Garret". He may have got the name by selling printed indenture forms. His first and last entries in the Term Catalogues were made in Hil. 1676 and Mich. 1679. [T.C. I. 227, in. 39.]
