Booksearch for rare and out-of-print books

Booksearch services from The Book Shelf can help find the rare or out of print book you are seeking. Our computerised Booksearch facility looks through over 1 million English books in print. We can supply any UK-published book in print, (USA as well but that takes longer), at the published price plus postage.

Why not try our unique "out of print" search, to find that lost favourite book of long ago. We have achieved an 80% success rate in searching for out-of-print titles. If you are able to give us the title and author, and an approximate date of publication, we will search for that elusive book. All we ask is that you make a prompt decision - yes or no - when we come back to you with the price; unlike many book-search services, we do not charge an up-front fee. Complete the 'Enquiry' form with as much detail as you can.

Remember, many unusual books are highly collectable, and are snapped-up quickly.

We can also supply your UK relations and friends with a Book Token for any amount in multiples of £1 (please add 50p to cover cost of card and postage).
