'Dinnages' are an established and successful family run business, trading since 1989 and have therefore celebrated over 32 years selling many collectables on transport in that time. Our experience in bookselling started after we opened a 'bricks & mortar' store in 1990, however by 2000 we moved to online sales. You will also find us with our stock at specialist markets around Southern England, from our own webstore and a variety of other third-party selling platforms. We are still fairly new to Biblio however have many years experience in selling new and former owned books. Our stock here will primarily be as a dedicated stockist of these publishers new titles contained in our stock list. We do also have many former owned books, so by all means ask by title or ISBN, we might just have a copy in stock.

Where Biblio provide sellers with fixed postage rate tables, there are books that will require much heavier rates in order to cover the postage, we dont charge for the packing, therefore a book of 1kg or more for example will obviously cost more than one at 150g therefore we appreciate the buyer will understand that we may state any extra will be mentioned in the listing or when accepting the order. Our UK fixed standard rate will change when Royal Mail changes the rates while most heavier books will have an extra added to the book price. ALL OVERSEAS orders are weighed and checked against the rates available for that country.

Note our Store photograph is just of a sample bookshelf where none of those books shown are actually those up for sale in our storefront on Biblio or any other site.
