  • Excellent service: from the initial phone call, to offering advice and a home call to collect the books. Very honest and professional. Many thanks!

  • Josh is an incredibly knowledgeable young bookseller who was immensely helpful in valuing my collection and indeed in helping me find new treasures. Thoroughly pleasant and easy to deal with both as a buyer and seller, could not recommend working with Josh to dispose of your collection enough.
