about us

Aloes Books

A very short history

We have been publishing since 1970 and accumulating second-hand books of quality and taste since before then.

Our site will be constantly developed and improved and up-dated – so please re-visit us regularly. (To be fair, this actually means we are in the throes of site-construction and list in-put, endeavouring to weave and wobble the site into an efficient book-find place, literary note-book, bibliophile watering hole, print and publishing advice service and anything else that we realise needs to be done to keep the pages turning of old and new books that ought to be read. Sounds presumptuous, even pretentious – but let’s see how it works out as it will unashamedly reflect the prejudices and delights of its Editors.)

Recommended Reading: - the bibliophile’s watering hole.
Literary Note Book – perhaps an attempt at a post-modern commonplace book….we shall see.

Use contact us for comments / additions etc for this page …. At this stage, I am not ready for a BLOG.
