Get this stock at vast discount ...
I display around 500 secondhand books in the Post Office, here in Peasedown St. John. Each week I replace between 80 and 100 of them with fresh books - those removed are then repriced (upwards!) and put on this internet site.
Each week I will make available a small list of books that you can get at my shop prices (typically half what I will advertise them for in the future) by buying here.
I try and price all these books below other internet venues - not a practice I endorse or apply anywhere else to be honest - I do this so that people who visit the shop can be sure of getting a bit of a bargain even if the range is limited.
You can pay by cheque, Postal Order and PayPal only on these books - please indicate at time of order.
