Store description

New bookseller finding appreciative homes for an eclectic collection of used books acquired over the lifetime of their previous owner. The majority of the books date from the late 1900's to the mid-2000's. Almost all are flawed in some manner due to use, time, and improper storage. While not usually beautiful books, the contents will reflect the author's interests and knowledge of their time whether writing fiction or non-fiction. We have a wide selection of both.
