About

For over three decades and under three different owners, ‘Just Books’ has operated as a vintage and secondhand bookseller based in Cornwall. 

Our original shop was in Pydar Mews, Truro which we ceased trading from in 2023. After a brief period of being just an on-line bookseller we decided to return to ‘brick and mortar’ selling in 2024 and open a bookshop in St. Georges Arcade, Falmouth. Our stock remains preloved books, with particular interest in Art, Cornwall and Children’s literature as well as a range of out of print books in many other subjects.
