About The Book Scouts
Welcome to The Book Scouts! We\'re glad you decided to stop in. We\'re readers and collectors, just like you, and we\'ve now been selling on the internet for over 5 years to help support that collection! You\'ll find lots of high quality books in all our categories. Mystery, Science Fiction and Fantasy are our specialties, but we\'ve got tonnes of other interesting books - many signed by the author! Most of our books which were published within the last 5 years are purchased from a book wholesaler and are in excellent condition. We obtain 90% of our SIGNED BOOKS from them as well. These books were signed for the original publisher by the author. Due to excess inventory they sell them off and we pass on the deals to you!! If you have any questions, please just let us know! Thanks! The Book Scouts (Chris, Sue & Jim)
