A unique second-hand book browsing experience.
We love books. And we love transparency. We provide photos of the actual books for sale, including front and back cover photos.
While we have a selection from almost every genre, we have a focus on art, science, non-fiction, science-fiction, fantasy and feminism (and of course we have lots of fiction, we are a bookshop after all!).
“We read books to find out who we are. What other people, real or imaginary, do and think and feel... is an essential guide to our understanding of what we ourselves are and may become.” - Ursula K. LeGuin

Did Adam and Eve Have Navels?
Are you interested in topics as diverse as numerology, New Age anthropology, and the late Senator Claiborne Pell's obsession with UFOs? And are you interested in unsettling exposés of reflexology and urine therapy? Do you laugh in the face of bad "science"? This book is for you!
Star Quest: An Incredible Voyage into the Unknown
SPACE - THE FINAL FRONTIER.
If you love sci-fi art from the 1970's paired with an epic voyage of a single ship in the 23rd century embarking on a journey towards the very heart of the Galaxy, then this book should have your name written all over it.
Riddley Walker
Do you enjoy post-apocalyptic novels that are written from the perspective of a young child who speaks a very hard-to-read, broken and confusing language that itself is a reflection of the confusing and broken world that has been left behind after a nuclear war? Not me, but maybe you!
