Rainfordparrisbooks Reviews 

Received a rare book in very quick time and beautifully and carefully packaged.

This shop is very helpful, knowledgeable and happy and able to answer all sorts of queries about their books and also ensuring safe delivery. I have no hesitation in recommending them!

I highly recommend this bookseller! The service was very courteous, the shipping extremely prompt and the item was exactly as described. I would buy from them again. Rainfordparrisbooks.co.uk deserves a 5 star rating. Truly a trusted seller.

Found a rare programme from a Cambridge Footlights revue that I was after. Initially spoke to Helen who was very helpful followed by Philip who sent me photos of every page (24 pages) so that I could see that it was as described and the content.
The price was agreed and a Paypal invoice was sent and paid on the Saturday. Item was despatched on Monday and arrived on Tuesday, excellently packaged to avoid any damage in the post. Excellent service all round and would definitely use again and recommend to anyone.

I have dealt with Helen and Philip for several years and will continue to do so as the books they buy in and sell onto the public are immaculate irrespective of their age - I am VERY fussy about the condition of the books I buy (often what are referred to as 'collectible') and know I will get them from Rainfordparrisbooks.
This is backed up by AMAZING packaging so that the books will arrive in the same pristine condition that they leave their shelves.
Excellent service.
A wonderful purchasing experience.
Thank you.

Book gratefully received. Super fast safe delivery and beautifully wrapped. Excellent service, thank you very much.

Excellent service all round from very helpful and knowledgeable staff. Many thanks.

A moderately hard to find book, lovely condition, reasonably priced, professionally packed and delivered swiftly. A splendid bookseller to whom I’ll return.

Professional and knowledgeable service, reasonable prices, and an interesting selection of titles. I purchased Non-Stop by Aldiss and the buying experience was excellent. Rainford & Parris provide detailed and accurate descriptions. Philip also sent additional pictures I requested. You will find attention to detail from start to finish: careful packaging, prompt dispatch, tracked delivery. I was so happy I went back to find another gem (Mindworm by Kornbluth). I will doubtless return and keep an eye on further additions to this bookseller's inventory!

Product exactly as described. Prompt courteous service . Highly recommended

Impeccable customer service. Many thanks ✨

Service was quick and courteous. The book was very well packed and looked even better than the photos. I would highly recommend this seller.

Book received very promptly after ordering (3 days), securely packed to withstand the rigours of the postal system and, most importantly, in exactly the condition described on Abe Books website. Great to deal with such an efficient and honest bookseller. Thank you.

Very professional & friendly service. Found the book I was searching for, Philip provided all the information needed & confirmed availability. Package was sent fully tracked & arrived next day well packed. Couldn’t be more pleased - to find a scarce book in such good condition & to deal with a seller who I felt genuinely cared that I would be happy. I hope to deal with you again as I know I’m getting what is described, if not indeed better!

I can wholeheartedly recommend this bookseller. The book I bought was exactly as described, beautifully packed and promptly delivered. Full marks!

Excellent transaction. Rare book as described; brilliantly packaged; friendly and professional communication. Thank you.

First class service and excellent communication.
Would definitely buy from Rainfordparrisbooks again.

I have recently purchased a quite rare and unusual early childrens' book from Rainfordparrisbooks. I found it posted on their abe website and ordered it online.
I received pretty immediate confirmation of my order, and the title was despatch straight away too, with tracking details supplied to me. It arrived excellently packed as promised.
I was fully satisfied with the book: it matched the full description given very accurately, which is not easy as books of this nature generally have significant signs of enthusiastic use (and hence wear) from the early juvenile owners. There can be a tendency for dealers to slightly idealistic in their descriptions, but this one was very realistic and accurate.
A final pleasing aspect was that I thought the price for the book (quite expensive) was reasonable and reflected both its rarity and condition.

Very friendly, and extremely professional. Will go that extra mile to make sure everything is spot on for you. Highly recommended seller.
