My World Me Page Feedback Add me to your Favourites

Welcome to the eBay shop of Books, by Kimbo! Otherwise known as Kim Andrews. I live in the fishing village of Mevagissey, near St Austell, Cornwall, in the far West of England, and I specialise in selling books. If there is anything about my policies or items that you wish to know that is not covered here, please feel free to get in touch using "ask seller a question".

I specialize in twentieth century first editions, in various subjects. In my stock list you will find books on country living and countryside pursuits, sports, biographies, travel, and the best of modern literature from around the world. Well over half of them are first editions. When I'm out and about buying I keep my eyes peeled for interesting and unusual books, particularly those that are a little harder to find or maybe have been out of print for a while. I aim to do the hunting (though not the shooting and fishing, it's so bad for the dust jackets!) so that you don't have to.

If you have any questions about my ebay auctions, please don't hesitate to send me a question.

You are always welcome to collect your item personally, and save on postage. I do not charge for collection. However, please do check in advance, as collection is only available by arrangement - I need a date and time! Thanks.

My contact details are:

Please note, this is not a shop premises - no browsers or casual callers, thank you.

Not sure what postal zone your country is in? You can check the Royal Mail list of countries, to see if you're "Europe" or "Rest of World", on my list at www.bykimbo.com/europe.htm .

Confused by bookseller jargon? Not sure what a "front end paper" is, or where on a book you'll find the "hinge"? Unclear about the difference between "sunned" and "foxed", or think they both sound like countryside pursuits? You can find out these things and much more thanks to my jargon busting glossary at www.bykimbo.com/glossary.htm

How do ebay's shop categories work? And where, in my store, will you find particular books?

Ebay only allows shop-keepers to attached two categories to any one item. So if a book could actually be described as belonging to three of them, a choice has to be made. If, for example, a book is a First Edition, pre-1960, and an autobiography, I can only make it appear in two of those categories. So it's worth looking around the store thoroughly for books, not just in the most obvious place!

If you have any questions about how my categories work, or where is the best place to look for a particular type of book, please feel free to drop me a line (use ask seller a question or contact me via my web page). I'm always happy to talk about books!

All the best,
by Kimbo!
