An online bookshop based in Cambridge, buying and selling secondhand books

Our business was born out of the desire to save old books. Collected and curated over a lifetime, one person’s book collection holds huge personal value and we believe that that should never be simply pulped. While the world becomes more digital and impermanent, it is our central belief that old books, with their loose pages, stains, underlinings, notes, messages and stories are beautiful and should never be destroyed if they can be reread.

We have over 16,000 books listed in our stores on Amazon, Abebooks, Biblio and ebay with more added every day. In addition, you can buy monthly subscriptions plans and boxfuls of books directly from us.

To help tackle climate change and to support the environment, we are planting a tree for every order over £20.

Subscription Plans

We send you one of our books every month. Simple. You choose the genre, we choose the book.

Books by the Boxful

A great offer for avid readers: books by the boxful. Choose from a box of 6, 12 or 25+ paperback fiction books. 

We are always interested in new stock, so if you're looking to re-home a collection of books in the Cambridge area we would love to hear from you.
