Joel Segal Books

Joel Segal is an Exeter based book-dealer who has been buying and selling Antiquarian, Out of Print and Second-Hand Books and Ephemera for the last 40 years. He started with a market stall and then the Angel Hill Bookshop in Tiverton, which he ran for ten years.

Looking for more prominent premises, Joel opened an Antiquarian and second-hand bookshop in Topsham. Joel Segal Books became well established due to Joel’s expertise, selection policy and over-all philosophy.

As the shop increased in size, he took on staff to run the shop while he concentrated on the buying of books and dealing in the more valuable items.

It is only recently that Joel successfully sold the shop part of the business and the general stock of books. This has left him free to operate in a different way, still dealing in all aspects of books but offering a more tailored and focused service for both buyers and sellers. (The bookshop in Topsham is no longer Joel Segal Books).
