Selling Books since the 1990's
We began selling at book fairs in the North West of England back in the early 1990’s.
Then with the advent of the Internet, we were one of the first 100 UK dealers to begin selling on ABE books in 1998, and of course we still sell on there and on several other platforms. With over 15,000 books we have a wide range of stock but specialise in Modern First Editions, Rare Literature and Children’s and Illustrated books.
