What our suppliers say:-

"I had a wonderful  transaction with Sonia at Stella & Rose’s books in October 2014. The whole process was extremely smooth from start to finish, they were extremely helpful and informative about what I needed to do to make the process easy and swift, they also acted with an extremely high level of integrity throughout and they paid me for my books within hours. If you have quality books to sell, deal with these people. They are excellent in all respects!" D.B.
