Welcome to W. Fraser Sandercombe

 

Welcome to the home of W. Fraser Sandercombe - Bookseller - internet booksellers for twelve years.
You can search or browse our inventory of hard to find, out of print, used, and rare books. Scans are available for all our books - if you need to see a picture, feel free to ask.

Who We Are

We are an Internet-only bookstore - although appointments can be made for a visit, by e-mail: info@WFSandercombe.com, or by telephone: 905-332-0050. We were one of the earliest booksellers on-line - more than twelve years now. We started before the corporations dominated on-line bookselling; we started before the amateurs with their $1.00 yard sale books and insipid descriptions, and before the mega-listers with their 1,000,000+ books and no descriptions, dominated the search pages; we started on-line when most of the bookselling sites and most of the booksellers were professionals who approached their business with respect for their books and courtesy for their customers. This site is a small attempt to return to those early days of on-line bookselling when books, and the people who loved them, actually mattered.
We specialise in First Editions and collectible books - and usually have around 500 signed editions in stock at any given moment - ranging through most of the genres: Fantasy; Horror; Science Fiction; Mysteries; and a good selection of Literature; Historical Adventure; History; Outdoors; True Crime; and Assorted Non-fiction. We display roughly 15,000 books and add to our catalogues regularly.
And, for just a little self promotion, Sandercombe is also an author.  His most recent books are:  The Beatles: The Press Reports; Beatlemania Forever: The Beatles Encyclopedia; and Beatle Books - From Genesis to Revolution.   In a recent review, Joyce Greenhold of Goldmine Magazine said about Beatlemania Forever, "browsing through the book is not the dry experience you might expect from a volume with 'encyclopedia in the title.  Longer entries covering major albums, tours, and other notable events in the band's history are enlivened with quotes from news coverage and interviews."
