About Us

We do not have a shop, however you are welcome to visit by appointment. We are located in the S.E. corner of beautiful Snowdonia National Park in North Wales, United Kingdom. We run a bunkhouse so we can provide accommodation also, see link below.

You will find me listed on several popular rare book sites with excellent feedback/rating scores. Please note my best prices and most complete inventory is on my own site. make sure you add your email so I can update you with special offers.


I deal primarily in modern first editions specializing in the authors Tolkien and Wilbur A. Smith, my own favourite authors. My business grew up from buying and selling for my own personal collecting.  I have the largest stock for sale of signed, unsigned and rare Wilbur Smith first edition books in the world. Mr Smith has kindly signed many rare, good copy first editions for me. I have many one-of-a-kind period (old) signed and inscribed copies. Unlike some dealer/collectors, I don’t hoard my unique copies and will sell any copy I have. Please visit my page- About Wilbur Smith First Editions

Within J.R.R Tolkien, I deal mostly in early, expensive first edition books as well as Tolkien related art and other memorabilia as this is linked to another business venture of mine. I list only few titles, but provide a bespoke sourcing service, both buying and selling, for private collectors.  Please let me know your requirements in Tolkien collecting, even if modest. If I can’t help, I can recommend others who can.

I believe book buying should be easy and pleasurable. I don’t derive my main income from booking dealing. One of my other businesses is accommodation www.bwlchcoediog-bunkhouse.com  Because I have other businesses have no reason to cheat or mislead anyone on a book purchase. I don’t like complicate or difficult policies. If you feel an item purchased from me wasn’t what was expected, return it within. I’m a bit "old school" in my book business practices even though it’s a modern on-line bookshop; Good service, honesty and value for money.


If you would be interested in listing your first edition books from the two authors I specialise in, please ask about our consignment services. I also buy books, but you will get a better price on consignment.

 

If you have any questions, no matter how silly, please ask.
