About Begging Bowl Books
"Providing low-tech information and entertainment solutions since 2005" ;). Having started buying old leather books at Garden Fetes and jumble (thrift) sales at the age of 8, it is not surprising that I ended up as a bookseller, initially part-time, in 2005. My stock is eclectic. I look for books that have quality, interest or are unusual as well as more commonly sought books. I aim to describe books accurately including repairs, rebinding and faults. I have used the same professional bookbinder since starting. I generally describe books with commonly used book terms and abbreviations. If unsure please ask. There are photos for all the books listed. Photos are usually added within a few hours to a couple of days after listing. Further photos can be requested. Most stock is priced between £20 - £2500. The best way to contact me is by email as I spend part of the time in an area with poor mobile reception. I aim to ship items within 2 days. If required by a specific date please let me know beforehand or when ordering. Thank you for looking.
