The Real Book Shop

The Real Book Shop seeks to bring life and fun to book-buying, both in the general, and antiquarian sectors. We have over ten years' experience of selling books, both in our high street shops and online. We have been selling on Abe, Amazon and our own websites for all of that time. We took a short sabbatical while we moved house and now we are concentrating on re-building our Abe catalogues, as well as our other online outlets. Our Abe Books online shop concentrates on just some of our specialities - in particular, Antiquarian, Collectible Sci-Fi, Horror and Fantasy and Collectible Crime Fiction. Please keep re-visiting, as our catalogues are growing with quality books, all the time.
