Out Of Print Showcase
The Showcase is a small selection from our stock of out-of-print books: just 600 books chosen to give an idea of the range of our stock. In total we have 20,000 - 30,000 second hand, rare and old volumes on our shelves. This selection is arranged, rather roughly, by subject and author. It can be browsed by section or searched using the search facility at the top of this page; if you don't see what you are looking for please phone or e-mail us to ask.
This month we have added a further 50 books, timetables etc; these new additions are marked with a +.
Last update Monday 30 June 2008, next update Thursday 31 July 2008.
NEW!! You can now download the Showcase in a printer-friendly rich text version to print and read at leisure.

There are about 70 pages of it, so check which sections you want to read before printing.
Out Of Print Booklets
This is a listing of smaller works of the Oakwood Press type, mostly of local railway history, arranged by locality. They are all card covered and are mostly octavo, but range between duodecimo and small quarto; they are grouped here with the minimum of description to provide an easily scrolled list of inexpensive histories. For more substantial histories browse the UK & Irish Railways sections.

Bargain Basement
Here is a collection of old dogs at low prices. Some are in the last stages of disintegration but many have nothing worse wrong with them than that they've lost their dust jackets or are frightfully common.
Please read the descriptions carefully because there are no refunds for these, unless we've described them as Very Good or Fine and they fail to meet this description.
Listed alphabetically, by author; the books marked + are the latest additions.
