Information

Specialising in books on the occult, literature, private presses, antiquarian and social sciences and other subjects as we unearth the many 000s of books that have been in storage for 40 years. I started in the 2nd hand book business in 1968 when I was 25 and had a bookshop in the Town Hall Square, Leicester; then moved over to selling remainder books and opened a string of bookshops round the country - maybe 13/14 shops, some also selling 2nd hand books and also keeping the 2nd hand bookshop in Leicester. After a few changes I decided to move back to selling 2nd hand and older books from home in 2000, and am basically selling the many books that were accumulated and stored from when I had the bookshops 30/40 years ago; so lots of goodies are turning up as I unpack the boxes.
