For over three decades, ‘Just Books’ has operated as a vintage and secondhand bookseller in Cornwall.
Our original shop in Pydar Mews, Truro ceased trading in 2023, and after a period of being just an on-line bookseller we decided to return to ‘brick and mortar’ selling in 2024 and open a new bookshop in St. Georges Arcade, Falmouth. Our stock is primarily preloved books, with particular interest in Art, Cornwall and Children’s literature as well as a range of out of print books in other subjects.
