The bookshop buys

We are always willing to look at good quality books in any of the above categories. Condition is important. Generally the newer the book the better the condition has to be. The edition is also important. Generally we are looking for first or early editions of older books

We always like to look at local history, fiction in translation, poetry, children's, especially the classics

We are not interested in modern popular fiction (eg thrillers), hardback bookclub fiction, shop books (eg Marks and Spencer Book of...), the Royal Family, Reader's Digest condensed and similar books

Generally the more specific the book, the more likely we are to be interested in it 

 If you want to sell your books please bring them into the bookshop, preferably not on a Saturday. It is always better to ring first (01200 444242) to save a wasted journey. We do occasionally make home visits but only for specialist collections and will need details of the books offered
