We are a small book trading business operating from our home in south Devon. We offer a professional and friendly service and have many regular customers at home and abroad.

Our main business is supplying both rare and new books on polar exploration but we also have a general selection of interesting antiquarian and secondhand books which we trade at book fairs and by mail order.

We specialise in the following subjects:

• Polar Exploration
• Travel
• Golf
• West Country and UK Topography
• Modern first editions

We issue a catalogue of books and ephemera about Polar Exploration and the Polar Regions twice a year. Let us know if you would like to go on our mailing list. The catalogue can be sent by email or you can receive a paper copy by post. You can see a selection of the types of books we offer on further pages of this website and see our latest catalogue (Winter 2013) by clicking here.

If you enjoyed our catalogue why not send it on to a friend?

We offer a free book search service. We can carry out valuations for probate.

We are members of the PBFA association of booksellers and regularly exhibit at fairs around the country. Please click on the Book Fairs Page to see the fairs we shall be attending this year.

We are members of various polar groups, including the Friends of SPRI, the Captain Scott Society, the Devon and Cornwall Polar Society and the James Caird Society.

We are always interested in buying books and ephemera on all subjects, and especially on polar exploration. We are happy to pay you a visit

We are always buying polar books so let us know if you are searching for a particular title as we may be able to help

We look forward to hearing from you
