Bennor Books

Bennor Books Selling books on commission for private individuals, charities, and library authorities online and at fairs. I also offer an assessment service.

I also offer a triage service if you can't face deciding which of your books is worth what! I specialise in books on Northeast England and the Scottish borders, along with the related subjects of mining and railways. However, as I sell on commission, I often have other books on other subjects. I sell solely online and at fairs and do not have a shop as such. However, if there is a particular book

that you wish to inspect, before purchase, please get in touch to arrange a mutually convenient time for you to visit. If you'd like me to assess your collection, I can advise on which are worth selling, which are suitable for a charity shop, and which are simply waste paper for recycling! I charge £20 for this service but this can be deducted from any subsequent sales.

Well known authors sit side by side with new and upcoming authors, postcards and ephemera.

Look forward to seeing you there!

Wandering past the wonderful Cogito Books yesterday, I noticed that they were highlighting books by the shop's two founders, From Picks to Rifles, by Alan Grint, and Enfilade, by Julia Draper. I could not remember Enfilade so, on going home, checked the details online. Cogito are selling it at £7.99, but online it's £86 plus postage! Things are not always cheaper online!
