These are exciting times within the independent booktrade : the public have become increasingly
disillusioned with the central stocking controls of the corporate bookchains and their heavy reliance upon a
few selected bestsellers. Discerning customers appreciate the very personal and individual attention which
is offered by the quality independent bookshops. This website only lists books which are in the physical
stock : independent bookshops are not merely merchandisers : to this end, Keeble Antiques are major
buyers of publishers back-list "bin ends"- many of these titles are exclusive to the Langport shop.
Currently Keeble Antiques offer special prices on monographs about the following marine artists
Charles Brooking - George Chambers - Peter Monamy - Dominic Serres
***Recently added to the on-line inventory is a selection of large Print titles***
