Welcome lovely book people! Shipping in mainland UK is only £4 flat rate per order.

A unique secondhand book browsing experience.

We love secondhand books. And we love transparency. We provide photos of the actual books for sale, including front and back cover photos, as well as detailed descriptions of their condition.

Based in Fife, Scotland, we ship to anywhere in the UK. We have a selection from almost every genre, with a focus on art, non-fiction, science-fiction, fantasy and progressive learning (and we are always open to requests!).

“We read books to find out who we are. What other people, real or imaginary, do and think and feel... is an essential guide to our understanding of what we ourselves are and may become.”

-Ursula K. LeGuin

Did Adam and Eve Have Navels?

Are you interested in arguments against topics as diverse as numerology, New Age anthropology, and the late Senator Claiborne Pell's obsession with UFOs? And are you interested in unsettling exposés of reflexology and urine therapy? Do you laugh in the face of bad "science"? This book is for you!

Science rules

Do you enjoy post-apocalyptic novels that are written from the perspective of a young child who speaks a very hard-to-read, broken and confusing language that itself is a reflection of the confusing and broken world that has been left behind after a nuclear war? Not me, but maybe you!

Uh, i guess i could try?

Kind words from our Customers

Excellent selection of books and an easily navigable website. Super friendly service and fast reliable shipping with beautiful packaging! So over the moon happy. Highly recommend supporting this small business.

Brittany

Wonderful website! So fun looking through all the categories of great books. I struggled to control myself from having the hugest order of books. The delivery was quick and I loved the note and business card. It makes me so happy we have businesses like this in Aotearoa.

Dayle

Great curation of books on the site I struggle to find elsewhere. Fast and communicative service which handles orders with care. Five Stars.
