About Us
Welcome to Compton Books
At Compton Books, we’re passionate about the enduring charm of second-hand and antiquarian books. Nestled in the village of Compton near Guildford, our small, independent business has curated a thoughtful selection of titles for readers and collectors alike.
We specialise in illustrated books, classic cookery, theology and religion, and vintage children's literature—each volume handpicked for its quality, character, and historical interest. Whether you're a casual reader, a serious collector, or simply someone who enjoys the feel of a well-loved book, we hope you'll find something special here.
Our stock is regularly updated via AbeBooks, where you can explore and purchase directly from our carefully organised listings. For enquiries, recommendations, or help finding a particular title, we’re always happy to assist.
