The following secondhand books are being sold on behalf the BSHM.

All books are in good condition unless otherwise stated, although the Transworld Publishers and Penguin books are those that have suffered most from the ravages of time (paper discoloured, binding weak).Where two dates are given, the second is the printing date of the copy. The sign [b] indicates boards, otherwise all are paper covers.
Each book is mentioned once (except for Collections) even though some titles could be put in more than one section.

In most cases there is only one copy and therefore it is entirely possible that the book you would like may already be sold. I will endeavour to keep the available list up to date on the web site. If in any doubt, please email me to confirm availability.

It would also be useful to me if when placing an order, you could mention a contact phone number.

Please use this order form. Do not send your credit card details by email. We do not have a secure connection.

Cost of Post and Packing is calculated as follows:

One book 3.00
Two books 4.00
Three books 5.00
Four books 6.00

UK delivery only

For more than four books, or for oversees delivery, please email me for quote:
