We purchase good quality books in all quantities, from individual volumes to large collections, and welcome your enquiries about any items you may wish to sell.

Please supply as much information as possible about the book(s), including an indication of the binding and general condition of the volume(s), and noting any defects.

The condition of the volume is increasingly reflected in its market value, and thus any valuation made, or opinion expressed, can not be considered binding until we have physically handled the book.

Our insurance fully covers items in transit and on our premises, but please advise before posting any item to us. We can of course advise on methods of shipping, and can pay clients in most major currencies.

We are active throughout this country and abroad, and with a trading history of over 50 years, and a busy shop and catalogue business we are able to offer very good prices for a wide range of material, be it academic, modern, or antiquarian.

for an efficient, and discreet service, and all enquiries or resultant transactions are completely confidential.
