Store description

We are taking a break while we re-locate ourselves and business. We move to a peaceful stretch of the River Lynher. We specialise in fine antiquarian and second-hand books with a strong interest in Natural History, particularly the New Naturalist Series. If you come across any issues when searching for a title please contact us via our email loe@loebooks.co.uk or telephone us on 01566 782528. Offers always welcome and given serious consideration. We are not a formal shop but visitors are welcome by appointment. We are situated about 9 miles south of Launceston, close to Bodmin Moor. It is a beautiful part of Cornwall, so even if you do not find the book you are looking for a visit is worthwhile for the countryside alone!

Specialty

Natural History including Birds and Butterflies, New Naturalist Series, Original Botanical and Ornithological Art, Fine Bindings and Fine Books.
