The condition promise

How I buy

“If it’s foxed, torn or stinks of damp, it doesn’t make the stall.”

Stock comes from personal libraries, auctions and house sales across the North East — first editions, signed copies, Folio Society, and honest everyday readers. Picked one at a time, priced fair, at the low end. That’s the whole trick and I’m not changing it.

Two ways to a good book

Find me / Ask me

The stall

Sundays 9–3

Tynemouth Market, inside the glass-roofed Metro station. Wet days I’m still there — it’s indoors, man.

Morpeth shop — opening soon. Watch this space.

Book finding

Can’t see what you’re after? Just ask. Tell me the title, the author, or just the memory of the cover — I’ll hunt it down and won’t charge daft money when I find it.
