We Buy Books
Do you have books to Sell Books? We are always looking for first (1st) edition books in hardback, we buy single books or large collections. If you have any old, second-hand or rare books, then get in touch. We also purchase from public and private libraries, and will evaluate or purchase house clearances in the area. Although we're based in Yorkshire we'll travel far and wide to buy good books. We will gladly quote for purchasing via the post (we can provide a courier and will price this in any quote). We give open quotes and can show how the quote breaks down by book and even the profit we expect to make if you wish.
Collection Building
We specialise in collection building at all levels of expertise. We have built collections from scratch for new collectors, and helped expand existing collections for experienced collectors. For new collectors we offer free consultation and advice, ranging from the types of books to collect including condition and editions, to the actual titles and subjects to collect. This can be particularly useful for young collectors with limited funds who need to make the right decisions. For the more established collectors, there's a good chance you know the field very well. It is however often useful to get a second perspective on how one should progress a collection, so feel free to get in touch.
Book Finding / Procurement
We're good at locating rare books - it's our job. If there's something you're looking for then let us know. Whether it is a single item or a full list feel free to get in touch and we'll add it to our 'radar'. We welcome wants lists be it a single item or a multi-tab spreadsheet. We will do the research to find the correct item. We can also buy on your behalf, either from other members of the trade, or by placing bids at auction for you.
Consignment Selling
We can sell your books for you. If you have a large collection or a small number of valuable books we can sell these for you. We charge a commission on the profit of each book sold. This is agreed with you initially. For convenience, it's best if the books are stored at our premises where they can be catalogued, photographed and offered to clients. The books can be returned to you at any time and the agreement ended by either party. We recommend this only for books valued at over £100 (though large collections can be more flexible). Books are notoriously slow sellers, so it's worth bearing in mind that it may take months or even years to sell a book or collection.
