on-line presence at books at pbfa - a bookselling site displaying the stock of professional booksellers who are, for the most
part, members of the PBFA - a professional trade organization.
You can buy with confidence
from the site, you will not find pages of 'reprint on demand' books and, unlike ABE, books at pbfa does not levy
added charges, thus purchases there will frequently be cheaper than through sites such as ABE. And do please add us to your favourites. Many thanks.
We also welcome visitors.
Our bookroom
and stockrooms are open on most of the days and times shown.
Browsing through a bookseller's stock is one of life's pleasures
- and frequently a serendipitous experience. And the coffee pot is always
on.
However, we do advise a telephone call to 017683 52282 to ensure
we are available.
We are also happy to advise on the conservation, repair or restoration of any books that need tender loving
care. We will be happy to suggest professional binders we feel most suited to meet your needs.
We accept most major credit & debit cards and can accept
payment by US $ cheque or €uro cash or bank transfer.
And Sterling of course!
