Yes. We pride ourselves on our ability to ship quickly and reliably to over 100 countries. 

Deliveries to the UK take 3 to 5 working days, and international deliveries take 14 to 28 working days.

We provide reliable tracking on all orders to the UK and USA as standard. If you are in any other country and your order total is over £30.00, tracking will also be provided. Once your order has been dispatched you will receive the tracking number in your dispatch confirmation email.

This is a service that we are currently unable to offer.

We love our customers who want lots of books, however our shipping settings only accommodate a maximum of 237kg per order. If you want to order a large volume of books then simply contact us via this form  and we will make a bespoke shipping option just for you.

Products

We actually have many more books in our Library than are currently available online, with more coming in all the time. If you can’t find what you are looking for it’s worth getting in touch. Just  click here and give us the details.

Occasionally, however, we are not a specialist antiquarian book dealer so we rarely stock that many. To browse the collection click here. Alternatively, another great option for a special birthday or anniversary gift is to buy a book published in the year that person was born or the year of the occasion. 

Shop by year. 

 

We try to select only the best quality vintage books, and work carefully to describe the condition accurately. However, please bear in mind that they can be anywhere from 50 to 300 hundred years old, so are never going to be perfect, but then again -

“If you look for perfection, you'll never be content.” 

― Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina
