About Me              

I am a hobbyist book seller. This does not make me an “amateur”
I have been a Reader and Collector of books since my schooldays (over 40 years ago). The time has come to pass on most of these books (I will be keeping my collection of Jules Verne – for now) but will be offering a wide range of books at sensible prices, correctly described, properly packaged and promptly despatched. Some of these books have been donated by relatives and friends.
My main genres are Science Fiction and Fantasy although I have books in just about every category. The books range from Vintage to Modern. Some have ISBNs, some don’t and they will have the publisher’s catalogue no. in the listing. I have over 3,000 books to be uploaded and it may take some time.
I look forward to selling you some wonderful books.
