Frost Books and Artifacts Limited (FBA) is a small company set up to celebrate the 200-year-old Frost printing tradition. Housed in J. O. Frost's refurbished premises in Bar Street, Scarborough, FBA is a working co-operative selling over 3,500 third party owned original rare books dating back to the 16th century. These volumes are supplemented by select prints, reproductions, and modern copies. In addition, we sell a wide selection of fascinating historical artifacts from around the world. Although the physical premises are tiny, for members there is a reading lounge and a £5 discount off each book priced at £15 or more. This discount is available both on-line and in-store.

Britain is famous for the number and quality of rare book stores. We are delighted to represent Scarborough and offer a large range of interesting and rare books. Some of these books have very fine bindings and are works of art in themselves. They cover all subjects from science to religion and include a great selection of novels from famous authors as diverse as Charles Dickens, Enid Blyton and Jane Austen.
