Who are we ? --- Black Cat Books

Description: Dealers in second-hand and out-of-print technical & electronic books, who have been trading for over 30 years, believe in the personal touch AND try to satisfy the most obscure demands. You may find our prices rather different to other sites, due to our quirky nature and a touch of realism.

We are always looking for fresh stock of similar material, from any (legal!) source.
