Keeping the tradition of secondhand bookselling alive on Charing Cross Rd.
We buy good quality secondhand books.
Downsizing?
Change of circumstances?
Decluttering?
Moving House?
Dealing with an estate or house clearance?
Just too many books?
We offer fair prices and make the process simple, in what we know can be quite stressful situations.
We are interested to hear from you whether it is a single book to thousands of books.
"Thank you so much Gill, Michael, and helpers! Really appreciate your professional service -you’ve made everything so easy."
Efficient and professional
We will usually view the books at your location, make you a fair and reasonable offer, and if a purchase is agreed we will then arrange a date and time to come back to pack, collect and take away the books.
Deal with confidence from a reputable bookshop, we are long standing members of the ABA and PBFA, we have an excellent reputation for our communication and honesty.
"We much appreciated your very professional handling of our prized books and we look forward to contacting you again with further items."
How to contact us with books you wish to sell:
Please complete the simple short form below, it only takes a couple of minutes and the information you give us here will help us get back to you more quickly than an email or phoning us. If the books aren’t right for us we will let you know at an early stage. Please note that we only view and collect within London.
Please do not bring books into the shop without contacting us first, as we do not buy or make assessments of books in the bookshop without appointments.
We are selective on what we buy and generally we don't buy any of the following:
* Books in poor or defective condition
* Text books
* Ex-public library books
* Magazines
* Book Club or Readers Digest books
* Encyclopaedias or outdated reference works
* Recent travel guides
* Dated books on: current events, science, health, business, self help and computers
Once we have the information from you we will contact you within a few days, and if the books are of interest to us we will follow up with a viewing. The more notice you can give us the better, as we get a lot of enquiries and we do get booked up in advance.
Photos
Good clear photos are one of the most helpful things at this stage- just photos of the books on the shelf is fine, so we can see the spines, read the titles and get a good sense of the condition. (we don't need a seperate photo of each book).
Without photos, it is very hard for us to prioritise a viewing of your books as we get a lot of enquiries and cannot come to see them all. The examples below are the sort of photos we need:
Complete the short form below to let us know what you are looking to sell.
Please try and give as much detail as you can, including the condition of the books (we don't need a detailed list of titles), and what you need from us.
(You can save your progress on the form with the ‘SAVE’ button on the bottom right, if you need to add photos after filling in the rest of the information).
