Derek's Books Derek has been in the book business for over 40 years and he has an extensive knowledge of popular paperback fiction.

Combined with his excellent customer service and huge range of popular paperback fiction in good condition, you can be reasonable sure of finding something to read. Please note that I only deal in paperbacks as I am a mobile book stall and hardbacks are to big and heavy to move around. You can find us to buy and part-exchange books at the following markets:

Tuesday - Chorley Flat Iron Market
Wednesday - Preston Market
Thursday - Garstang Market
Friday - Earlestown Market

Not standing today 🤨
Arrived early this morning to set up only to find a car has been left parked overnight opposite my pitch so I can’t set up! Have waited an hour to see if someone is coming to move it but to no avail. So I will have to go home now before my vehicle gets in the way of other traders who need to set up, hopefully see you next week as it’s my last Thursday before I go on holiday for Easter.

Made a valiant effort putting the stall up this morning but a short 20 minute squall with hailstones that had clips pinging off the stall sheet changed my mind and I have come home. Will return in the new year from Tuesday 7th onwards and may I wish one and all a happy and healthy Christmas and New Year.
