Store description

We specialise in the sale of fine, rare and interesting books in all fields. Set up in 2022 by Benedict Wilson after 12 years in the rare and secondhand book trade, we aim to find sought after books in the best possible condition and the most interesting copies around. We are based in the seaside town of Folkestone, Kent. All our books are carefully checked and collated before being accurately catalogued to ensure satisfaction. All our books are provided with high quality protective covers and all orders are carefully and professionally packed. A note on what we sell: As books cover the entirety of human experience throughout the ages it is possible that some of what we sell will have imagery, views and/or language that is jarring to modern sensibilities. We will always endeavour to be sensitive to this fact in our approach to cataloguing and when presenting our books for sale. Our entire stock is available to view on our website at benedictwilsonbooks.co.uk
