Welcome to Bath and West Books
Antiquarian, Secondhand, Rare and Out-of-Print Books Bought and Sold

Our website is currently undergoing redevelopment; please bear with us
as we get everything up and running.

Bath and West Books is an online bookshop based in the beautiful city of Bath, Somerset. My name is Jo West and I have been buying and selling antiquarian, second hand, rare and out-of-print books since 2003 and collecting books all my life. I buy and sell books on a wide variety of subjects but specialise in books on Bath and the West Country, Illustrated and Children's books, and books on Art, Literature and History. Check out my New Stock page for some of the latest arrivals or Contact Me with details of books you are looking for. I am currently in the (lengthy) process of putting my book stock online so what you see here is only a small selection.

Traditional Bookselling Service From Bath and West Books

Online bookbuying doesn't have to be an impersonal and soulless transaction. You may not be able to see me through my secondhand bookshop window but I'm still sitting here at the desk, waiting to greet you and help you find that special book. Come on in and browse or tell me about the books you're looking for and I'll help you find them. And don't forget to bookmark this site so you can pop in whenever you like and see what's new. You can even follow Bath and West Books on Twitter.

Booksearch at Bath and West Books

Are you looking for that special book from your childhood? Or unusual titles on a favourite subject? Whatever you are looking for, be it a rare antiquarian volume, a modern first edition or a much-loved children's book, I may be able to track it down for you. I am constantly sorting and cataloging secondhand books but I have a large offline stock and am adding new purchases two or three times a week. If I don't have the book you need, I can often source it from another bookdealer. There is no obligation to buy so don't be afraid to ask!

Sell Your Books – Rare, Out-of-Print and Collectable Books Always Wanted

I buy and sell all kinds of secondhand books. Unusual, rare and out-of-print books are especially welcome but I will consider any subject, genre, author or age, from antiquarian fine bindings through pulp fiction to new, hot-off-the-press publications. I do have specialist interests in Books on Bath, Art and Photography, Illustrated and Collectable Children's Books and a number of other subjects. Please see my Books Wanted page for further details.
