For over three decades, ‘Just Books’ has operated as a leading and popular secondhand bookseller in Cornwall. The original bookshop was situated in Pydar Mews, Truro, when the shop stopped trading in 2023, the business then operated primarily as an online bookseller, for a year. However in 2024, we made the decision to return to ‘brick and mortar’ bookselling, opening ‘Just Books’ bookshop in St. Georges Arcade, Falmouth.
The Falmouth shop has 2 floors and we keep it well stocked of a range of vintage and collectable books, with particular interest in Art, Cornwall and Children’s literature other subjects stocked, include Biography, Folklore, Military History, Humour, Maps, Natural History, Travel, Transport, Vintage Fiction and much more.
