About Us
Founded in early 2020, CollectingMagicBooks.com aims to be the comprehensive bookshop for magicians, magic historians and conjuring collectors. We stock the latest releases from a variety of magic and magic history publishers, carry a huge range of used, vintage and antique magic books and have an ever-growing range of magic history books and classic reprints exclusive to us. We post books every working day from our base in the northern English city of Sheffield to magicians all around the world.
This shop’s values are partly a reaction to some of the difficulties faced when buying magic books online today. It was built with the customer at its core. We don’t discriminate between a beginner buying a bargain book on simple tricks or a bibliophile spending hundreds on a scarce antique conjuring book. Both books will be properly photographed, accurately described, and carefully packaged to arrive in the same condition they left us. We care about magic books as much as our customers, shortcuts aren’t for us.
We also think it’s important to be honest and efficient. If the book is shown in stock on the site we really have it. There are no unexpected delays or order cancellations common with some firms. We aim for the customer experience to be as fair and simple as possible and we’re proud to have built up a loyal customer base through offering high quality, personal service.
For more details on the shop you can read our FAQs or explore some of our videos on YouTube. We also have a mailing list which is the best place to find the latest information on new releases and other news. Our social media links can be found at the bottom of this page and if you want to know anything specific about our shop feel free to contact us directly and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
