Secondhand Books

We have a wide selection of secondhand books for sale, including an antiquarian section. This is largely derived from Zoar Books, which ceased as an entity at the end of September 2011. A process of sorting through and cataloguing the books is ongoing. The current listing may be viewed in a spreadsheet format. This has been arranged in two views, first by author, then by title. Detailed book information has been provided in every case.

Please contact us by phone or email if you have any queries about the books. If you have a ‘wants’ list you are most welcome to send us a copy. Book searches and quotations are free of charge.

Carriage costs on secondhand book orders are detailed on our How to Order page.
