Delcampe: a true collectors paradise !
If you are a collector I strongly recommend that you take a look at Delcampe.
It is an international Buy & Sell Fixed Price and Auction website specifically designed for collectors.
Many thousands of collectables are listed and illustrated. I am sure you will find many items within your field of interests.
Take a look by clicking the link above.
Registration is simple and FREE!! with hundreds of new members signing on every day. No cost to buyers!!


Listed below are bargain fixed price second-hand books, pamphlets, etc. on all manner of subjects.  I have several hundred books to list and I will place them in the catalogue as time permits. They are from my personal collection or have come into my possession as an aside.  I have priced them below what I believe is the current market value and there should be some real bargains.  (For books on my main specialist subjects of Scouting, Guiding and the Baden-Powells go to Site Map)

The list will be updated on a regular basis with new items added and sold items removed.
The list should therefore be worth revisiting on a regular basis and/or entering on your favourites list.

To order simply copy the item/s and paste it/them into your email order.
I will then confirm your order and then send you an email invoice including postage costs as soon as possible.
I will endeavour to keep the list up to date but there may be the odd occasion where an item has already been sold and I have not had time to remove it.
(Please note I am a one man business and time is always at a premium)


All prices are in GBP (Great Britain Pounds) Postage is extra.
Go to Frequently Asked Questions  for how to order and methods of payment etc.
You can obtain a discount on completed orders from this catalogue or combination of catalogues from my website.
    2.5% discount if invoice totals between GBP 5.00 and GBP 10.00
    5.0% discount if invoice totals between GBP 10.00 and GBP 25.00
    7.5% discount if invoice totals between GBP 25.00 and GBP 50.00
    10.0% discount if invoice totals between GBP 50.00 and GBP 100.00
    12.5% discount if invoice totals over GBP 100.00
I will automatically calculate any qualifying discount before sending you a pro forma invoice.


Condition of Books etc. are graded as follows:-
M. Mint - never used.
VG. Very Good - very little signs of wear and use.
G. Good - general signs of wear  and use but still presentable.
Poor - Heavy signs of wear or grubbiness. (Still useful contents for reading, etc.)
+ or ++ signs may be added to above to further refine classification.
Where appropriate additional descriptive notes will be included.
Minor inscriptions are ignored.
