Pegasaurus Books is a family-run bookshop with an extensive selection of both pre-read and out of print books. Our bookshelves carry an amazingly diverse and eclectic range of titles and subjects that are often not readily available elsewhere. And by not discarding books simply because they have been read by others we save the unnecessary disposal of thousands of interesting books, many in pristine condition, some – especially the very old books – a little more fragile and age-worn. At Pegasaurus Books we are all enthusiasts committed to acquiring and supplying books that are just waiting to give pleasure and information to our buyers.
Our friendly team are here to answer your questions and queries, whether by email or phone. The prompt and efficient service we operate ensures that every order bought before 1:00pm (GMT) is dispatched on the same day. If you miss this deadline the order dispatch will run into the following working day. Our packing and posting is done Monday to Friday, (except for Bank/Public Holidays), but we are happy to receive your order or query any time, any day, and we will make it our priority to get back to you as soon as possible.
