About Us

One day we walked into a church fete and saw loads of old books, unsold, going into a skip!!

Instantly shocked at the loss of these books, many of them over 100 years old,  and at the loss of knowledge, we decided to find a way to ensure old books like these could avoid the skip. 

And so was born Long Lived Books. 

From single books through to entire collections we buy and keep them until they are sold. 

As you might imagine, we find some amazing old books across hundreds of subjects, printed during the last few hundred years and we really want them to find new homes. Browse our book stall.
