Store description
Champlain Valley Books seeks to acquire the private libraries of academic professionals, in particular college professors of the Humanities. Our experience is that academics collect the notable and important books in their areas of specialty, and that they take good care of them. When we acquire such a library, we seek to pass along its books to discriminating readers and collectors who appreciate these works of scholarly and literary merit. We provide detailed descriptions of our books, often with photos attached, so that buyers have confidence in the quality of the works that they are considering.…
