POST MORTEM BOOKS Started in 1979 as a way of financing my own collection, Post Mortem Books soon took on a life of it's own and I found that by 1985 I was in a position to give up my paid employment and set off on the long, hard, but highly enjoyable, road of self-employment in the second-hand book business. Soon I was listing new books in my catalogues and since then I have expanded the business to include all forthcoming books within the crime and mystery fiction field as well as military fiction. In addition since the rise and rise of Harry Potter I have dipped a toe in the children's fiction market. All these books you will find in their seperate divisions on this website.

Take a look at some of them and judge for yourself!

Uncle Phil's Books . Having spent 40 years, man and wreck, dealing not just in books, but across the whole spectrum of the Antiques trade, in my dotage, or as Ned Sherrin put it so nicely, my anecdotage, (follow the 'laughter' link at the bottom of this page) I eventually gave in to a lifetime passion for books and opted to specialise, if only to clear some space on my own bookshelves. The trouble is that I get first crack at the goodies as they come in, which tends to cause space-related problems. To misquote James Thurber, I have books like most people have mice.
