Please do not bring books into the shop without contacting us, we do not buy or make assessments of books over the counter

We generally prefer to buy larger collections of 400 or more books. But at our discretion we do make exceptions for rare, collectable, interesting or unusual modern or antiquarian books in very good, clean condition. 
 Below is a list of the kind of books that we buy and a further list of books that we don’t buy.
