Every Man and Woman is a Star

Every Man and Woman is a Star

We buy and sell valuable books in the fields of the occult and esoteric. Contact us if you have more by the likes of Kenneth Anger or Aleister Crowley, or in the fields of magical  or theosophical pursuits. 

Another area we are pleased to explore is the tarot, and its many facets, including the intersection with Surrealism and the Avant-Garde. Please take a look at our Leonora Carrington Tarot limited editions, we are unique in having both the limited edition Tarot sets available.

We are aiming to expand our portfolio in this direction, and are always looking to buy high quality books by Andre Breton, Salvador Dali and other exponents of the Surrealist manifesto.

Please contact us if you have examples of books or rare ephemera which might be of interest, wherever you are in the world. We can purchase unique items or collections, and have contract rates with DHL Express to arrange the import process, backed up by a separate bookseller insurance policy in the unlikely event anything might go wrong.

Folio Society Specialists - Buy and Sell First Edition Books

Folio Society Specialists - Buy and Sell First Edition Books

We buy and sell Folio Society editions and are happy to purchase whole collections rather than cherry-pick the more valuable ones. We recommend that you contact us with a list and details, as we will provide better prices than other competitors. We have a waiting list of interested buyers for a range of titles, and this enables us to provide a streamlined service with lower overheads, which means higher prices paid for a lot of books.

Books can be brought to us in Cambridge, or you can send photos via Whatsapp  to 07903 092702 and we can provide instructions to complete the consignment.

The majority of our Folio Society books are first editions (that is, first editions for the Folio Society), but you'll also find one or two reprints and later editions. The edition is always specified in the book description, together with condition. "Condition: Fine" means without discernible fault. We tend to focus on editions printed post 2000. In our view that year saw a significant increase in both the quality of the books, as well as of the illustrators.

Verboten! Going Underground

Verboten! Going Underground

We buy and sell books which celebrate transgression and the underground. This can range from Underground works from the iconic counter-cultural period of the 1960's, to more recent works which challenge the viewer or reader.

We are particularly interested in buying work by the likes of Sally Mann, Jock Sturges, Fabio Cabral, Irina Ionesco, Jacques Bourboulon and others whose work has encountered increasing resistance and scape-goating in recent years.

In the field of fiction, please contact us if you have first editions within this field, from William Burroughs right up to Margaret Atwood.
