Invisible Books

Invisible Books was established as a publishing imprint in 1993. We dealt secondhand books of related interest as a sideline from the outset: this has long since become our main business. At various times, we have traded from premises in Greenwich, Crystal Palace and Brighton but now conduct almost all our business via the internet. If visiting Brighton, our stall (no. 54) in Snooper's Paradise, Kensington Gardens, located in the fashionable North Laine, has a range of interesting and moderately priced stock.

This is probably my favourite. It's a small but interesting selection and I always find something I want to read there. The Deckchair Guide to Brighton & Hove

We are both greatly saddened by the death of Bill Griffiths (1948 - 2007). We count ourselves fortunate to have known him and to have published his work. Our 1993 interview with him can be read here.
