Unwanted Book Collections Across Sussex
The Sussex Book Collector provides unwanted book collection services across West Sussex, East Sussex and Brighton & Hove, helping homeowners, families, house clearance companies, charities, organisations and businesses find a new home for books they no longer need.
From a few shelves of unwanted books to an entire house full of books, we are interested in collections of all kinds. Whether you are downsizing, clearing an inherited collection, preparing a property for sale or simply running out of space, we can help give unwanted books a second life.
We are based in Shoreham-by-Sea and collect books throughout Sussex and the surrounding areas.
Where we collect unwanted books
Our collection area covers much of Sussex, including the major towns and cities as well as the many villages and rural communities between them.
Shoreham-by-Sea, Worthing and Adur
As a Shoreham-by-Sea based business, we regularly collect unwanted books throughout the local area.
We cover Shoreham-by-Sea, Southwick, Lancing, Worthing, Sompting, Broadwater, Goring-by-Sea, Ferring, Findon, Steyning, Bramber, Upper Beeding, Henfield, Small Dole, Storrington, Washington and surrounding villages.
If you have unwanted books in the Worthing or Shoreham area, whether from a house clearance, downsizing or simply a collection that is no longer wanted, please get in touch.
Brighton and Hove
We collect unwanted books from Brighton, Hove and surrounding areas, including Portslade, Patcham, Rottingdean, Ovingdean, Woodingdean and Saltdean.
Brighton and Hove has a long literary and cultural history, and we are particularly interested in collections of older, unusual and interesting books as well as more general household collections.
Lewes and the South Downs
Our collection area extends across the South Downs towards Lewes, Ringmer, Kingston, Rodmell, Southease, Glynde, Firle, Berwick, Alfriston, Laughton, Ripe and surrounding villages.
If you have inherited a collection of books in Lewes or are clearing a property in the surrounding South Downs villages, we may be able to help.
Newhaven and Seaford
We collect unwanted books around Newhaven and Seaford, including surrounding communities such as Peacehaven, Telscombe, Bishopstone and South Heighton.
Collections can arise for many reasons, from moving house and downsizing to clearing an inherited home. Rather than sending unwanted books to landfill or general waste, we aim to find books that can be reused and enjoyed again.
Eastbourne and East Sussex
The Sussex Book Collector is interested in unwanted book collections in Eastbourne and across the surrounding East Sussex area.
We cover Eastbourne, Polegate, Willingdon, Pevensey, Pevensey Bay, Hailsham, Herstmonceux, Stone Cross, Jevington, East Dean, Friston, Alfriston, Heathfield, Horam and surrounding villages.
If you are looking for an unwanted book collection in Eastbourne, have inherited a large collection of books or are clearing a property, please contact us to discuss your books.

Our collection area includes Burgess Hill, Haywards Heath, Cuckfield, Lindfield, Hassocks, Hurstpierpoint, Ditchling, Albourne, Bolney, Ardingly, Balcombe, Plumpton, Wivelsfield, Handcross, Slaugham and surrounding villages.

Older houses and estates can sometimes contain substantial book collections, and we are particularly interested in collections that have accumulated over many years.

Although we are based on the Sussex coast, our collection area extends right across Sussex where there is a suitable collection of books.
