Really interesting books at sensible prices.
Really interesting books. I have been collecting art books for many years and I now have quite a few from Books About Art. Sensible prices and the opportunity to support a local (to me) independent book shop instead of Amazon

Great service and a fantastic range of books
Really impressed with this book store. The prices are very good, my order was delivered quickly, and there’s a brilliant variety of interesting titles to choose from. A smooth, reliable experience from start to finish.
Revealing read about Adge – a true legend!
I thought I already knew a great deal about Adge Cutler, but Adge – King of the Wurzels proved me wrong in the best possible way. Packed with fresh stories, fascinating insights, and meticulous detail, it sheds new light on the man behind the music. The writing is engaging and highly readable—I repeatedly found myself reading far longer than I had intended.
Entertaining, informative, and genuinely difficult to put down, this is a must-read for any Wurzels fan. Although I'm Welsh rather than West Country, Adge's appeal reaches far beyond Somerset. His talent, character, and legacy transcend regional boundaries, and this book captures them brilliantly.
Great communication
Great communication, and book exactly as described
