Vintage Books In Stock

Lists of vintage titles in stock,

Links to titles already photographed & listed at junkshopUK.
Updated Regularly.
For further information, photos or to purchase any of the items you see listed below, you can contact me via email - lj.clatworthy@hotmail.co.uk - or via my Etsy profile.

All titles are hardback editions, unless otherwise stated.
I only stock books that I would have on my shelves at home. Many are in excellent vintage condition, others are fairly worn, but make up for it with great illustrations, interesting binding or are just classics with a homely vintage feel. Damaged books are marked with a * and are priced accordingly.
