Book Search

When you’re looking for a particular book – an old favourite or the last in a series, either contemporary or vintage – we can probably help. Or, perhaps, it’s a new book from a tiny publisher in Mexico or Margate… We can source it for you quickly and efficiently. And Richard probably has a copy of that secondhand or vintage title you need to complete the series, tucked away in the attic cupboards of his home. But if not, we’ll generally be able to get hold of all but the most elusive books. Use the form below to let us know what you’re looking for and we’ll get back to you.

Secondhand Book Purchasing
