Books,
Used and Rare
We have been engaged in bookselling for over 30 years, first
conducting mail order sales through AntiqueWeek, and from our bricks
and mortar store since 1991. Only a small portion of our stock is on
display at our shop, and this site is utilized for special volumes, so
inquiries may be worthwhile. With rare exceptions, our books are
preowned....we are not a new book store!
