Store description

He then retired to the North Carolina Mountains where he continued to collect and sell books. Each one of these titles were hand held, personally described, and added to his inventory of collectibles.

Terms of sale

Smokey Mountain Bookman was the life long collection and buisness of my Father. He sold on AbeBooks for over 15 years, with a very eclectic collection of books representing over 60 years of bookselling experience. He was previously online as Jefferson Davis Auction Galleries in the early days of Internet commerce. Before Internet, he could be found at antique and collectable shows in the Southeast as Raintree Books. During his lifetime, his knowledge and high level of integrity were demonstrated and monitored by his professional memberships in the Florida Antiquarian Booksellers Association (FABA), Antiquarian Booksellers' Association of America (ABAA), and International League of Antiquarian Booksellers (ILAB). He, known as Smokey Mountain Bookman, made every effort to provide a faithful and honest description, fair pricing and fair dealing. His collection provides many unique and unusual titles.
