Store description
A long retired Librarian ( though very, very few are Ex Library, which I abhor), collected over the last 60 years or so,with an emphasis on good condition and scarcity. I aim always for the highest standards in packaging, mailing times selling my personal collection of approx. 2000 old and vintage books on many subjects and by many 'creative' writers.

I aim always for the highest standards in packaging, mailing times and accuracy of item description, as I was a professional bibliographer. To date, I have had almost nothing but praise for these. Two comments stand out as typical. " The book was exactly as described " and " The packaging of the book was almost bombproof " This is a down sizing exercise and and every book is very moderately priced for that reason, my inventory starting with low priced books and will be increasing later to more valuable ones in most subject and author categories. …

In the rare event of loss in transit, the buyer of under insured books will only be compensated to the maximum of the chosen insured sum of the book's value and not for any postal charges, as these are not included in Royal Mail's insurance cover I cannot offer compensation to the purchaser for un insured items lost in the post when the carrier declines to compensate for loss.
