Store Description

Alberta's Books is a seller of several thousand used, rare, and out-of-print books from a home in a historic district in Kingston, New York. The collection originated when I bought some charming old books from a mansion down the street and found Alberta's name in them. As years went by, I was continually attracted to the kind of well-made, often beautiful books that were commonly bought as gifts and to form reading libraries around 1900 - the kind of books Alberta had. But we also collect and now sell other kinds of books as well and we are always interested in acquiring out-of-print books that are in exceptionally good condition.
