Store description

Cocksparrow Books is a small on-line second hand book store selling for the last 25 years following the closure of our small bookshop in Wadhurst, East Sussex. We specialise in non-fiction and hard to find titles in a number of fields. We also sell early impression fiction in VG condition avoiding more recent best sellers and airport editions. Our condition notes are as detailed as possible to allow purchasers to fully appreciate what they can expect when they buy. We are open to queries and will do our best to respond quickly to text messages and e-mails. Our offerings may not be the cheapest but if you are looking for a positive outcome to a purchase on-line, do consider ordering from us.…
