A bookshop that still smells of paper
Three rooms, eleven thousand volumes and a kettle that is always on. We buy, sell and repair books — and we are happy to look at a box from your attic.
Second-hand
Fiction, travel, natural history and a stubbornly large poetry shelf. Prices from two pounds.
Antiquarian
Sixteenth to nineteenth century titles, mostly English and Dutch imprints, with faults described honestly.
Repairs
Cloth rebacks, corner repairs and new endpapers. We will tell you when a book is not worth the work.
About the shop
The shop opened in 1974 in a former chandler's store two streets from the harbour. The shelving is original, which is why some of it leans.
We buy single volumes and whole libraries. If you are clearing a house, send a photograph of the shelves and we will tell you whether it is worth a visit.
