Is there anything you don't buy?

We don't buy magazines, floppy comics, CD's or DVD's. We also generally don't buy older, over sized hardcovers, outdated travel guides or sci-fi/thriller/mystery novels in hardback when there is a paperback available.

Can you look up "-------" for me?

We don't keep an inventory of our stock (except for our rare and collectible titles listed online) but we have a pretty good sense of what is in the shop on a daily basis. Really, just ask!

I have a cat photo - can I post it/share it with you?

Yes! We love both cat and book photos. You can either tag us @twicesoldtales on Instagram, or shoot us a Facebook message and we'll add it to our page.
