What types of books do you specialise in?
We focus on antiquarian, collectable, and out-of-print books. Our collection often includes rare first editions, signed copies, and other unique finds, but we also carry a range of modern titles we think our customers will enjoy.
How do I sell my old or rare books to you?
Provide an answer Please get in touch by filling the form through the website or via email or phone to provide details about your book(s)—including title, author, condition, and any noteworthy features (such as signed pages). We’ll review the information and discuss a possible purchase. If necessary, we can arrange an in-person appraisal for items that are potentially very valuable.
How do you determine the value of rare and antiquarian books?
We base our appraisals on factors such as edition, condition, rarity, historical significance, and current market demand. We also consult reliable price guides, auction records, and our own experience to ensure a fair valuation for both buyer and seller.
Do you offer shipping, and how do you package books for delivery?
Yes. We ship worldwide and take extra care to package our books securely so they arrive in the best possible condition. Shipping costs may vary based on size, weight, and destination. We’ll always confirm any additional charges with you before finalising your order.
Can you help me find a specific out-of-print or hard-to-find book?
