Store description

Specializing in good horse and art books since 1973. My open shop of 37 years is now closed, but I welcome online or phone orders. My equestrian books are strong in 19th-century titles, ephemera, and the obscure, overlooked, and uncommon in all fields. Among the other books are many antiquarian bookseller and book auction catalogues. For regular announcements of new arrivals, please sign up at www.bledsoebooks.com. I look forward to serving you.
