Belfast Books is a members' bookshop. It does not open to the public, so nobody wanders in off the road. You book a time, and when you come the place is yours: no queue, no crowd, and a bookseller with you for as long as you are there.
People book for three different reasons and they are not the same appointment, so tell us which one you are.
Millions of books have been published. We hold a few thousand at a time, so the odds are against any one title being here, and we would rather say that now than when you arrive.
We cannot tell you from this page either. Most of the second-hand stock never reaches the website: it goes from the box to the shelf. So tell us what you are after, and we will go and look before you come.
We buy books, but not all books. Bring a box or a bagful and we will go through it with you there and then, tell you what we can take and what we cannot, and pay you for what we keep.
Book club paperbacks, encyclopaedias and condensed editions are usually a no. Northern Ireland and Troubles material, first editions, and anything unusual are always worth showing us. There is nothing to pay for this appointment.
