Welcome to Fountain Books

We are specialists in the area of Mountaineering and Climbing books covering the UK, The Alps and all Mountains throughout the world!  In addition, we deal in Topography, Travel / Exploration and Some Polar Books.  

Our enthusiasm and commitment is borne of our wish  to explore and enjoy the world, in a sound and environmentally sustainable way.  I have climbed and travelled across a number of areas myself.

By keeping this enthusiasm alive along with much experience of book dealing, the aim of Fountain Books is to provide you with the books that you are looking for, that arrive with you swiftly and professionally.

Our website is kept up to date at all times and we aim to keep it alive with new items that we constantly are adding to our stock.

We are firm supporters of the Boardman Tasker award and you can find the details about this award on our Links page.

We are members of the PBFA.

Fountain Books recognises that sometimes you want to pass on some or all of your collection.  Please do contact us if you have any items that you might be interested in selling to us.
