Mark Faith Books has changed its name to Festival Art and Books, FAB. You will find us listed on many popular rare book sites with only top feedback scores!
Our lowest prices and fullest inventory are on our own website as there are no selling commissions for either of us! We provide many photos on this site, but recommend you ask us for a full set of photos so you can be sure you are happy with the condition. Condition is the most important feature to the value of collectible books.It is not enough they are first editions or signed.
Please note- much of our special and rare Tolkien stock is on hold and to be sold at the Festival. if you have a specific item you are looking for, please ask.
We deal in a variety of modern and popular first editions books, but specialise in the authors; J.R.R. Tolkien and Wilbur A. Smith (the owner's favourite authors). We have the largest stock of signed, rare and collectible Wilbur Smith books in the world. With our J.R.R. Tolkien stock you will find 1st editions, early impressions and hard to find signed new editions as well as books written about J.R.R. Tolkien. We are also now sales agent to a number of Tolkien inspired fantasy artists. Please watch this site for feature updates with more art. If you do not see what you are looking for or are in a hurry, just email me and I'll email a list. If you can't find what you like please fill out our off-line search form. I am also a buyer of Wilbur Smith and Tolkien books, art and memorabilia. Please email or call me for a confidential, no obligation discussion.
