Customer Reviews
I have to say that Josh has been nothing but fantastic in helping to sell my books. He's very approachable, knowledgeable, provided an accurate value and helpful feedback Michael, Cheshire
First, let me say what an absolute pleasure it is working with Josh at Manchester Rare Books. Living in Texas, USA, my experience with overseas purchases has been a mixed bag. Josh helped navigate the minefield of shipping tariffs and elevated costs to come up with the best possible solution for the books I purchased. I highly recommend purchasing from him and supporting this establishment... just don't buy the books I want to buy (insert greedy American laugh here).
Josh answered the phone; upbeat, polite and knowledgeable. Happy to share his findings on the phone whilst I plied him with questions and went from one book title to another. So helpful. Thank you Josh; more than refreshing.
