Just Books has long been a popular secondhand bookseller in Cornwall, providing book lovers and collectors with a good range of vintage books. Our original bookshop was in Truro, for over three decades, however Just Books is now based in Falmouth town centre, within St. Georges Arcade, in Church Street.
The shop has 2 floors of vintage and collectable books, with particular interest in Art, Cornwall and Children’s literature. Other books stocked, include Biography, Folklore, Military History, Humour, Natural History, Travel, Transport, Vintage Fiction as well as a selection of Maps, Postcards and other random items of interest.
The shop only operates on a part-time basis and trading days can sometimes vary, but customers are more likely to find us open during the afternoon towards the end of the week (please check news which will include changes to trading times): see here
Whilst Just Books has social media accounts, they are often unmanaged and we prefer any communication through the ‘contact us’ page on this website, or via the shop landline – 01326 617649
