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 anywhere in mainland 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

Kind words from our Aotearoa 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.

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.

I ordered a lovely book from Green House Books when I had covid, and it arrived within two days. The selection of books available is absolutely beautiful. Can not recommend highly enough.
