Second-hand & Antiquarian Books

We specialise in Botanical and Natural History titles and have thousands of used and antiquarian books on these subjects available via our website and shop.

The secondhand section also includes a small number of damaged books from our new stock, identifiable by their reduced price. Usually these have been bumped during handling, with minimal damage.

We currently feature a selection of our 7,000+ secondhand books on the website; please get in touch with your requirements. Photos available on request.

Have books to sell? We’re always interested in taking a look, from single books to large collections. Get in touch here.

You can now filter the site for second hand books, whether searching by category or using the search box. Just use the tickboxes on the left hand side of the page.
