WELCOME TO KERNAGHAN BOOKS

“The journey of a lifetime starts with the turning of a page”

And for us that book journey has recently turned a new page. Still based in Liverpool, we have handed over our shop at the Bluecoat and it continues to flourish under the new ownership of Steve & Gina Aldous.

Since an extended gap year in the seventies with an antiquarian book business in Belfast, our own enterprise began in 1984, first sharing space with the gallery and studio of artist A.R. (Tony) Klitz in Wayfarers Arcade, Southport.

The shop and gallery grew over the years as did our knowledge, joy in and commitment to fine book selling. A house move to Liverpool caused us to consider also relocating the business into the city and we have been delighted to have had twelve delightful years based in the courtyard of the Bluecoat.

We, Alwyn & Bryan Kernaghan continue our bookselling interest in a smaller, more selective way by trading from home and at a few national bookfairs.

As always, we are keen to purchase fine books. Please contact if you think we can help you.
