This month is the centenary of the ill-fated expedition of that top English bloke, Captain Scott.
Robert Falcon Scott was a Royal Navy officer and explorer who led two expeditions to the Antarctic regions: The Discovery Expedition, 190104, and the ill-fated Terra Nova Expedition, 191013.
During this second venture, Scott led a party of five which reached the South Pole on the 17th of January 1912, only to find that they had been beaten to the Pole by that sneaky Nord, Roald Amundsen. On their return journey, Scott and his four comrades all perished from a combination of exhaustion, starvation and extreme cold
and some may add, not a little foolhardiness!
So, to celebrate one of the most famous of our explorers I am proud, pleased and very, very much happier sat in my nice warm office when offering a selection of my best books on Arctic, Antartica, Exploration and the like

All of us, I am a dealer first and foremost with a small stock of around 40,000 secondhand books, are committed to providing the level of service that you would expect of professionals in the out of print and antiquarian book world.
The site offers secure ordering, of course, and you deal directly with the book seller to complete the transaction. Your questions regarding any book for sale can be directed to the dealer if you prefer. That contact is welcomed and can be made through the site. With a little fewer than half a million books here, you are not going to find every title listed of course.
That said, if it's here then you can rest assured of being in the good hands of our little band of brothers! Comments on the site, dealers and most things can be directed to me (using the contact us page) but please, don't mention politics, recession, bonuses or, indeed, quantitive easing!
I, personally, also keep a small selection of stock at the Post
Office in Peasedown St. John and you can get an idea of
what's in stock at any time by clicking
here.
As well as thousands of second hand and out of print books,
I offer a range of bibliographies, book valuations(currently suspended due to other pressures), you
can sell your books through the site if you're a dealer and a free
book search service. You will also find a selection of links to other book related web sites.
