Barnacle Books was formed in 2002 by Ken Harron, for many years an enthusiastic collector of quality books. Initially offering for sale titles from his own notable collection accumulated over some 25 years, with the acquisition of several private libraries the number of books has grown and current facilities allow for stock levels to be maintained at around 5000 titles.

Every endeavour is made to trace those elusive titles for busy people who do not otherwise have the opportunity or the time – Barnacle Books are Happy to Help.
Whilst most of the business is by mail order visitors are always welcome to come and browse the stock – private premises so visits subject to appointment to ensure the Bookroom is open – a personal viewing in pleasant surroundings awaits.
