Every day, without fail, we are asked, 'Do you buy books?'

The answer is, excitedly, 'yes!' - with some caveats. In truth, it's an addiction we're trying to manage alongside our limited storage space, so sometimes, with great reluctance, we have to say 'no' to even the most lovely books. But how does this help you know what we'll purchase?

Well, we are always interested in hearing about rare, antiquarian, and collectable books - either individual items or whole collections.

But even if your books don't fit into these categories, we're always happy to take a look. Just send us some photos via our contact details below. Don't worry, you needn't take pictures of each one, just take some snaps the books as they are on a bookcase or in heaps or boxes, the spines are enough for us to assess content and condition.

We recommend using WhatsApp to send the images as emails often limit photo quantity. Our WhatsApp number is 07899 973595.

Alternatively, if you're not on WhatsApp you can email us at: buyer@eaglebookshop.co.uk

Be sure to specify in your message whether your books are for potential sale or donation and the shop owner, Peter, will get back to you when he can. As I'm sure you might guess, we get a lot of these messages so it may be up to a week before Peter responds.

If you cannot send photos of your books, please message us via email or WhatsApp to organise an alternative viewing.

Be aware, the shop owner, Peter, is often away on house visits so direct meetings with him must be arranged by appointment, please apply for this by email.
