We specialise in selling second-hand, rare, and antiquarian books across various genres, including fiction, non-fiction, literature, history, art, and more. We also have a range of Ephemera items including old documents, prints, collectable cards etc.

We take great care in curating our collection. Our second-hand books range from gently used to well-preserved through to just readable fair condition only. Some of our books can be 100 years old and more so are showing signs of use. We provide detailed condition descriptions for each book but if you would like further information on any book please email us at info@kentbooks.co.uk and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
