About Orlando Booksellers
Orlando Booksellers has been selling collectable books since 1994, specialising in literature and modern first editions. After working from bookshops in Greenwich and Bloomsbury, London for a number of years, we are now internet-based only and we operate from the cathedral city of Lincoln. We take great care in describing our books accurately, packing them well for transit, shipping promptly and maintaining good communications with our customers. All our orders are sent either signed for or tracked, or a combination of both -- and we always take great care in our packing, often using book boxes for extra protection. We are VAT registered, and our VAT Registration number is 629 3707 21. Some recent feedback: "Thank you for the book. it's arrived today (Thursday, 1st May 2025). I wanted to thank you especially for the way in which the book was so well packaged and protected from the elements (including the human element)) while in transit to Australia second to none in my experience. And Id also like to thank you (and offer my congratulations, if I may) on how thoroughly meticulous and scrupulous Orlando Books are with your description of the item also second to none in my experience. It is truly a lovely book, so beautifully preserved, and its quality is matched by the care with which it was handled by Orlando Books during this transaction." W. Shearman, Australia
