Secondhand Books
Discover Something Special
Alongside our range of new titles, we are proud to offer a carefully curated selection of second-hand books.
You’ll find Scottish history, local history, outdoor adventure guides, nature writing, railway books, and a smattering of fiction.
We also hold a small but lovely collection of antiquarian books for those seeking something a little rarer.
Our second-hand selection is always changing, with new titles arriving almost every day.
Buying and Donating Books
If you are looking to pass on a few gently used books, we would usually be happy to take a look. Books are accepted by appointment, or when a member of our team is available to assist, most often Sally.
When we buy books, we offer 25% of the resale price.
For example, if we would sell a book at £10, we can potentially offer you £2.50. Books can also be donated if you prefer.
We assess each book based on its condition, popularity, and how many copies we already hold.
Due to limited space, any books we cannot accept must be returned to the supplier or donator. There are many excellent local charities that will happily find them a home.
